Abstract

The aim of the study was to explore whether the individual burden of ADHD is the same in the elderly as in younger ages even though the symptomatological impact of ADHD seems to remain stable over the lifespan To assess ADHD symptoms and ADHDassociated problems in daily life standardised questionnaires were conducted To assess the subjectively experienced course of disease over the lifespan all participants were interviewed regarding symptoms of ADHD in childhood as well as before and after the fiftieth year of life In the sample of 296 respondents with a mean age of 6955 years 11 fulfilled the criteria of adult ADHD Retrospectively the ADHD subjects reported negative impacts due to ADHDassociated behaviour over the life span These impairments remained stable over time with 18  of subjects reporting impairments in family life 46  in social relationships 18  in dealing with money and 36  in organisation of daily life in the presence Thus the ADHD subjects reported problems with stability over time caused by low selfconfidence being quicktempered and due to defiantness Although this is pilot study our results reflect the burden of ADHD not only in young and middle adulthood but also in seniority The findings indicate the lifelong impact of ADHD as the explored seniors with ADHD reported the negative impact of ADHD remaining stable over the lifespan
