Q

DSM-V criteria of ADHD for kids and adolescents

A

o Symptoms > 6 months and prior to age 12,
 Usually need to be present in 2+ settings i.e. school and home
 Interferes with social, school, or work
 Predomiannetly inattentive: 6+ symptoms of inattentive and few of hypreactive
 Predominantely hyperactive: 6+ symptoms of hyperactive and few of inattentive
 Combined: 6+ symptoms for both

o Inattentive symptoms: poor attention, cant focus, don’t follow through on tasks, poor organization, forgetful, procrastinate…
o Hyperactive/impulsive symptoms: fidgety, cant stay seated, blurt out answers, interrupts…

Q

ADHD in kids vs adults

A
  • Adult presentation is different than kids
    o New onset ADHD in adulthood is uncommon… does it even exist? Maybe kids masked symptoms
