Popis:	Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually is considered a childhood disease, and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , fifth edition, clearly mentions that symptoms should begin before age 12 years and cause functional impairment in two or more settings. Contrary to this known diagnostic criterion, clinicians routinely make a diagnosis of adult ADHD, at times without any documented childhood history. This article describes a few cases of adult ADHD to illustrate some key challenges in diagnosing adult presentations of ADHD. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2017;47(6):309–314. ]
