Abstract

Although it has now been accepted that most individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain symptomatic in adulthood, the idea that the condition may persist in those aged 60+ has only recently garnered consideration from clinicians and researchers. Consequently, little is known about how the condition manifests in late life, and diagnosis is challenging in those in this age group. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of knowledge on ADHD in old age, shedding light on its epidemiology, diagnostic challenges, clinical manifestations, comorbidities, and treatment options.
