TI  - A clinical and demographic profile of a sample of adults with attention deficit 
      hyperactivity disorder, residual state.
PG  - 416-25
AB  - It is becoming increasingly recognized that one third to one half of children 
      diagnosed as having attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) continue to 
      exhibit symptoms of the disorder into adulthood. The nature of the clinical 
      picture is not well understood by a substantial number of clinicians. The purpose 
      of this study is to report on the demographic and clinical profile of 56 adults, 
      age 19 to 65 years (48 men, eight women) who present with adult ADHD and meet 
      DSM-III-R criteria for the disorder. Patients underwent a diagnostic work-up 
      consisting of medical and psychiatric evaluation, a structured interview Schedule 
      for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Version [SADS-L]), the 
      Symptoms Checklist Revised (SCL-9OR), Conners Attention Deficit Disorder With 
      Hyperactivity (ADDH) scale, structured interview of ADDH, the Global Assessment 
      of Functioning Scale (GAF), and, when available, information from parents was 
      obtained. Ninety-one percent of our sample met the Utah Criteria for adult ADHD. 
      The majority of the sample had additional DSM-III-R diagnoses and only seven had 
      ADHD diagnosis alone. Fifty-three percent of the sample met the criteria for 
      generalized anxiety disorder, 34% alcohol abuse or dependence, 30% drug abuse, 
      25% dysthymic disorder, and 25% cyclothymic disorder. These findings were similar 
      to those reported in the literature.
