A clinical perspective of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder into adulthood.

Abstract in brief

• ADHD is a common disorder affecting people of all ages, with recent research showing it often persists into adulthood and impacts academic, social, and work life.
• The disorder has a strong genetic and biological basis, involving dysfunctions in brain systems related to noradrenaline and dopamine, and is often linked with other issues like substance abuse.
• Treatments, including medication and psychosocial therapy, are effective across the lifespan, but understanding long-term outcomes, especially for adults treated since childhood, needs further research.]
