Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is likely underdiagnosed and is under-treated. Adults with ADHD are at increased risk of experiencing significant impairments in their interpersonal relationships, economic opportunities, and safety. Primary care clinicians can efficiently screen for ADHD in adults and may utilize validated instruments to aid in making the diagnosis. Primary care clinicians should also feel empowered to treat ADHD once diagnosed. Long-acting stimulants are first-line. Monitoring for side effects of medications is important as adverse effects are more common among adults and can lead to cessation of treatment.
