- Abstract
The attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is subsumed under disorders beginning in childhood and adolescence. For adulthood, persistence rates of 20--80% have been reported. Thus, ADHD is a chronic disorder that might result in severe impairments over the life span. This review reports on the symptomatology, classification, co-morbidity, and the epidemiology of ADHD over the life span (from childhood to adulthood). Subsequently, ADHD is introduced as a developmental disorder, possible trajectories and risk factors are described. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are reported for the different age groups.
