There is ambiguity about the clinical picture and concept of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. Relevant literature was extracted from various search engines, analyzed, and interpreted. Available literature suggests a significant prevalence of ADHD in the adult population affecting the quality of socio-occupational functioning. Inattentiveness was more commonly present than hyperactivity-impulsivity. Frequent comorbidities with other psychiatric disorders like anxiety disorders and substance use disorders were noted. Pharmacological management and psychotherapy have been found effective in its management. ADHD is a disorder across the lifespan and fairly prevalent among adults. Greater awareness and more research are required for a better understanding of Adult ADHD and its effective management.
成人注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的临床表现和概念存在模糊性。从各种搜索引擎中提取、分析和解读了相关文献。现有文献表明，ADHD在成年人群中具有显著的患病率，影响社会职业功能质量。注意力不集中比多动冲动更为常见。注意到与焦虑症和物质使用障碍等其他精神疾病频繁共病。药物治疗和心理治疗已被证明对其治疗有效。ADHD是一种贯穿一生的疾病，在成年人中相当普遍。需要提高认识并开展更多研究，以更好地了解成人ADHD及其有效管理。
