Making sense of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (A-ADHD)‎

الملخص EN

Adult ADHD (A-ADHD) is a relatively new diagnostic category in general adult psychiatry.

many psychiatrists do not accept the diagnosis and its treatment, which is primarily with psychostimulant medication.

Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of A-ADHD need a specialized service for a proper delivery by an experienced team.

there are comorbid psychiatric disorders associated with A-ADHD that may influence its course and management.

the disorder could be modelled as a neuropsychological or a neurobiological disorder.

psychostimulant medications are the first line treatment and require careful monitoring.
