Abstract:
Importance: Adolescence and young adulthood can be a period of immense change. Navigating this critical period of development can be particularly challenging, even for healthy individuals, given the immense cognitive, emotional, neurobiological, physical, and social changes taking place during this time. The additional burden of the core symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and associated functional impairments can further complicate this transitional period through to full adulthood.
Abstract:
Objectives and Data Source: In this review, we focus on the distinctive behavioral and neurobiological characteristics of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with ADHD. We discuss the variety of contemporary challenges faced by these patients as they transition to full adult maturity. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed was performed on February 23, 2022. We searched for English language peer-reviewed articles published in the previous 10 years using primary search terms including "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," "adolescent," and "young adult." Importantly, we provide various innovative and practical strategies and solutions to overcome the challenges faced by AYAs with ADHD, with the aim of improving the management of this unique patient population.
Abstract:
Relevance: This review is intended to support physicians less familiar with the management and treatment of AYAs with ADHD.
