Hyperactivity Disorder

This chapter presents an account of the clinical picture of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the severe form hyperkinetic disorder. They are disabilities that change with development and are often accompanied by other problems that can mask it or themselves be masked by it. Clinical and standardized ways of making the diagnosis are described. Inattentiveness and impulsive hyperactivity are rewarding challenges for diagnosis and treatment in adulthood, as well as during childhood and adolescence.

Treatment Responsiveness

Adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has moved from the blurred edge of clinical focus to clear recognition as a prevalent and significant disorder in its own right. It is a relatively common comorbidity which if identified and treated may open the door to better outcomes for hard-to-treat patients. Conversely, failure to identify and treat adult ADHD is linked to negative outcomes. The recognition of the importance of adult ADHD in a subset of our patients challenges us to overcome our anxiety about this diagnosis and prevent the societal marginalization of vulnerable patients. Adult ADHD responds well to integrated pharmacological and psychotherapeutic intervention. Its treatment responsiveness reduces disability and allows the comorbidity which is typically present to be addressed. Mastering this challenge can make the diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD a rewarding experience.
