摘要：
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults is an increasingly recognised condition that is associated with substantial functional impairment. Adults with ADHD present with a developmental derivation of symptoms reminiscent of those in juveniles, most notably inattention and distractibility and, less commonly, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Psychiatric comorbidity with mood, anxiety, substance use and antisocial personality disorders are often found in adults with ADHD. As with children with ADHD, the mainstay of treatment in adults with the disorder is pharmacotherapy.
