综述了成人注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的现状,包括该障碍的分类、诊断和治疗。成人ADHD存在3个主要诊断问题:(1)诊断需要儿童期ADHD病史;(2) ADHD似乎经常与其他诊断一起发生;(3) ADHD的一些临床特征与其他疾病相似。作者估计ADHD在成人中的患病率约为0.3%,这比其他重要的成人精神疾病的患病率略低。虽然ADHD被认为对拟交感神经兴奋剂反应良好,但已发表的文献并没有提供压倒性的疗效证据。据报道,精神活性物质使用障碍是ADHD成人中最常见的相关诊断之一,临床医生应该关注兴奋剂治疗。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2022 APA,版权所有)
Reviews the status of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, including the classification, diagnosis, and treatment of the disorder. ADHD in adults presents 3 major diagnostic problems:(1) the diagnosis requires a history of ADHD in childhood;(2) ADHD appears to occur frequently with other diagnoses; and (3) some of ADHD's clinical features mimic those of other disorders. The author estimates the prevalence of ADHD in adults to be about 0.3%, which is somewhat lower than the rates of other important adult psychiatric disorders. Although ADHD is thought to respond well to sympathomimetic stimulants, published literature does not present overwhelming evidence of efficacy. As psychoactive substance use disorder has been reported to be one of the most common associated diagnoses among adults with ADHD, clinicians should be concerned about treatment with stimulants.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
