Abstract
Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, mood
lability, hot- or short-temper, impaired stress tolerance,
disorganization and impulsivity (Wender, 1995). Due to
the reduction of externalizing symptoms in adulthood
and the absence of hyperactivity in the predominantly
inattentive subtype, ADHD is more difficult to diagnose
in adults (Nierenberg et al., 2005) and often unrecognized
or mistakenly attributed to other psychiatric conditions
(Kessler et al., 2006). Adult ADHD overlaps in symptom
profiles and is highly co-morbid with other psychiatric
disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD),
bipolar disorder (BD) and substance abuse, making the
discrimination of symptoms more complicated (Wilens
et al., 2009) and warranting the search for facilitating
diagnostic tools.
