Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults

Treatment response of ADHD occurring in adults to a satisfactory quality of life and treated with stimulant medication is about 60%. Where comorbid mood and anxiety conditions occur, they are also highly treatable. In resistant cases of ADHD with mood or anxiety disorder, ADHD psychopharmacology should be considered. Psychological therapy participation and training in planning and time-structuring skills can provide patients with coping strategies for ongoing use and enhance the benefits of ADHD medication treatment.
