Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder affecting people of all ages, and is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Adults frequently have less hyperactivity or impulsivity but struggle more with inattentiveness and restlessness. Adults also may have comorbid psychiatric conditions and substance use issues that can make ADHD challenging to detect and treat. If left untreated, ADHD may harm the patient's quality of life. This article examines therapies for treating adults with ADHD.
