Abstract:
This paper describes the diagnosis of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a 26-year-old female. Adult ADHD is being increasingly acknowledged as a cause of psychiatric morbidity particularly since the diagnosis is frequently missed in childhood. Greater recognition of this disorder is important because it can be a cause of low productivity and employment disruption as well as a risk factor for other psychiatric problems such as substance abuse and mood disorders.
