Because attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) first was considered a childhood disorder, with symptoms dissipating as the person approached adulthood, any history about adult ADHD is rooted in the early descriptions of affected children. This article focuses on elements of the history of the disorder that inform the concept of adult ADHD.
由于注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)最初被认为是一种儿童期疾病,症状会随着患者接近成年而消失,所以任何关于成人ADHD的病史都源于对患病儿童的早期描述。本文重点关注该疾病病史中为成人ADHD概念提供依据的要素。
