Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common malady in the general population, with up to 8.1 percent of adults meeting criteria for this syndrome. In the college setting, the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder may offer specific academic advantages. Once the diagnosis is assigned, the prescription of stimulant medication may provide additional secondary gains through misuse and/or diversion. For example, these drugs may be used by college consumers to increase alertness, energy, academic performance, and athletic performance. Stimulants may also decrease psychological distress, alleviate restlessness and weight concerns, and be used for recreational purposes. According to the findings of five studies, the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be believably faked, particularly when assessed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptom checklists. Thus, the faking of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a realistic concern in both psychiatric and primary care settings.
注意缺陷多动障碍是普通人群中的一种常见疾病，高达8.1%的成年人符合该综合征的标准。在大学环境中，注意缺陷多动障碍的诊断可能会带来特定的学业优势。一旦确诊，使用兴奋剂药物治疗可能会因滥用和/或转移用途而带来额外的附带好处。例如，这些药物可能被大学生用来提高警觉性、精力、学业成绩和运动成绩。兴奋剂还可能减轻心理困扰，缓解烦躁不安和体重问题，并被用于娱乐目的。根据五项研究的结果，注意缺陷多动障碍的症状可以令人信服地伪造，尤其是通过注意缺陷多动障碍症状清单进行评估时。因此，在精神科和初级保健环境中，伪造注意缺陷多动障碍都是一个现实问题。
