Abstract:
Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is frequently found in the general population and it negatively impacts the quality of life of those that suffer from this disorder. Although the general practitioner occupies a primordial role in the detection as well as in the management of this disorder, the lack of training as well as the stigma surrounding ADHD make it not always obvious how to approach the patient with or possibly suffering from ADHD. In this article, we propose to present a few lines of good clinical practice applicable in primary medicine for the detection, diagnosis and management of ADHD in adults.
