Preferred term

ADHD in adults  

Definition(s)

  • For decades, continuing into the early 1970s, there was general agreement that attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was outgrown during puberty (in this entry, ADHD encompasses both the traditional attention deficit disorder and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder). The major diagnostic focus during this period was the elevated activity level. [Source: Encyclopedia of Applied Developmental Science; Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults]
