摘要
Aim: The Lifetime Impairment Survey assessed how ADHD impairs everyday life, identifying areas most affected. Methods: This opinion-based survey evaluated experiences, diagnosis and treatment of lifetime impairment in adults with (n = 89) and without (n = 94) ADHD. Groups were compared using impairment and symptoms scales; higher scores indicate greater impairment. Results: Mean (standard deviation) age at diagnosis was 18.2 (11.5) years; 47.1% were taking prescription medication for ADHD. Adults with ADHD reported greater impairments than those without for all scales (p < 0.001) except the involvement scale. Conclusion: Greater impairments in adults with than without ADHD suggest a continued impact throughout their daily lives. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
