虽然ADHD在历史上被概念化为一种仅限于童年中期男性的疾病，但目前被概念化为一种持续到青春期和成年期的慢性疾病。尽管如此，成人ADHD的真实性仍然是争论的根源。为了框这场辩论，导致ADHD作为一种慢性疾病的概念化的研究进行审查。ADHD的发展结果与发展过程之间存在差异。它的结论是，虽然儿童多动症与青少年和成年期的负面发展结果，ADHD的发展过程中的问题仍然存在。虽然ADHD似乎随着年龄的增长而减少，但一些方法上的限制阻止了确切的结论。对未来研究的建议，重点是1）克服文献中现存的方法学限制和2）需要理论推导的假设，随着时间的推移，ADHD的连续性和变化。
Although historically conceptualized as a disorder that was limited to males during middle childhood, ADHD is currently conceptualized as a chronic disorder that persists into adolescence and adulthood for both sexes. Nonetheless, the veracity of adult ADHD continues to be the source of debate. In order to frame this debate, research leading to the conceptualization of ADHD as a chronic disorder is reviewed. A distinction is made between the developmental outcomes versus the developmental course of ADHD. It is concluded that although childhood ADHD is associated with negative developmental outcomes in adolescence and adulthood, questions about the developmental course of ADHD remain. Although it appears that ADHD diminishes with advancing age, a number of methodological limitations prohibit firm conclusions. Recommendations for future studies are made with an emphasis on 1) overcoming extant methodological limitations in the literature and 2) the need for theoretically derived hypotheses regarding continuity and change in ADHD symptomatology over time.
