Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often misdiagnosed or mistreated in adults because it is often thought of as a childhood problem. If a child is diagnosed and treated for the disorder, it often persists into adulthood. In adult ADHD, the symptoms may be comorbid or mimic other conditions making diagnosis and treatment difficult. Adults with ADHD require an in-depth assessment for proper diagnosis and treatment. The presentation and treatment of adults with ADHD can be complex and often requires interdisciplinary care. Mental health and non-mental health providers often overlook the disorder or feel uncomfortable treating adults with ADHD. The purpose of this manuscript is to discuss the diagnosis and management of adults with ADHD.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）在成年人中常常被误诊或误治，因为它通常被认为是一个儿童期问题。如果一个孩子被诊断出患有这种疾病并接受治疗，它往往会持续到成年期。在成人ADHD中，症状可能合并存在或类似其他病症，这使得诊断和治疗变得困难。患有ADHD的成年人需要进行深入评估以进行正确的诊断和治疗。成人ADHD的表现和治疗可能很复杂，通常需要跨学科护理。心理健康和非心理健康提供者常常忽视这种疾病，或者对治疗患有ADHD的成年人感到不自在。本文的目的是讨论成人ADHD的诊断和管理。
