Compact and authoritative guidance on evidence-based treatment for ADHD in adults
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental
disorder that emerges during childhood. However, it is now
well recognized that ADHD frequently persists over the lifespan and
well into adulthood.
Although ADHD is typically first identified during the childhood years,
the presentation of symptoms may differ considerably between
adults and children. Without appropriate symptom management,
ADHD can significantly interfere with academic, emotional, social,
and work functioning. When properly identified and diagnosed,
however, outcomes in adults with ADHD who receive appropriate
treatment are encouraging.
This volume is both a compact "how to" reference, for use by professional
clinicians in their daily work, and an ideal educational reference
for practice-oriented students. It is practical and "reader friendly."
It has a similar structure to others in the series, and is a compact and
easy to follow guide covering all aspects of practice that are relevant
in real life in the assessment and management of ADHD in adults.
Tables, relevant case studies, and marginal notes assist orientation,
while suggestions for further reading, support groups, and educational
organizations are provided for individuals and professionals.
A companion volume ADHD in Children and Adolescents is also
available.
