ADHD in adults

It is generally believed that ADHD is a disease of young children, and it will heal with age. Adults will not develop this disease. However, according to many scholars' follow-up observations and prospective studies, ADHD is not a child-specific disease. If children with ADHD are not treated in time, they can continue to the young and mature stage, but the symptoms are different. We call it "to become young micro-brain dysfunction (AMBD)", which is adult ADHD. Adult ADHD is characterized by irritability, irritability, anxiety, and depression. The disease was first reported by American doctor Arnold in 1972, and similar reports have increased in the future. To this end, the United States held an AMBD symposium. Generally speaking, with increasing age, children's hyperactivity symptoms can diminish, but they are still not quiet, irritable, impulsive, distracted, difficulty concentrating, poor academic performance, low self-esteem, depression, and frustration . About four-quarters of the children have antisocial behaviors, such as combat, theft, vandalism, arson, and murder. Some people think that these children have a greater chance of developing mental illness than the general population. There is also a considerable number of children who may experience environmental maladjustment in adulthood. Foreign scholars have reported that 36 patients with ADHD aged 17 to 24 years and 45 normal persons aged 17 to 24 were compared and compared. The two groups had similar conditions in terms of age, gender, socioeconomic class and IQ. The 36 subjects with ADHD were evaluated by a psychiatric department of a children's hospital 10 to 12 years ago and identified as ADHD patients. After assessing the relevant situation in the first 5 years of the two groups, the number of car accidents in the ADHD group was higher (average 1.3.07), and the number of times of dealing with the court within 5 years (47 32) was diagnosed as personality disorder More. Subjects in the ADHD group were significantly more anxious, nervous, exaggerated, hostile, etc., as well as those who felt restless. Some scholars in China have also surveyed 441 laborers in 4 shelters, of which 67. 12% have a history of ADHD or ADHD. Among those who received reeducation through labor, the incidence of ADHD was 9 times higher than that of the general population. The American Psychiatric Association's Journal of Perverted Psychology, 2003, Vol. 112, No. 3 reported the research results of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the State University of New York. Affects life-long, therefore, special attention should be paid to the timely diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
