A portion of children diagnosed with ADHD also show symptoms in adulthood. In adults, the symptoms must therefore already have started in childhood when treatment is initiated. Management requires a complete therapeutic program, and may include psychological, educational and social measures, and if necessary medication may be indicated.
The diagnosis must be made according to the current DSM criteria or the ICD classification (the DSM and the ICD define the diagnostic criteria according to the World Health Organization and expert consensus).
