Abstract

Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are increasingly presenting for diagnosis and treatment in psychiatric and primary settings. ADHD affects 4-5% of adults and is characterized by childhood-onset and persistent symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Many adults with ADHD suffer from co-occurring depressive, anxiety, antisocial, and addictive disorders. Research has documented familial and genetic underpinnings, neuropsychological deficits, frontal-striatal, and catecholaminergic dysfunction. Treatment strategies include stimulant and nonstimulant medications as well as structured psychotherapies.
