Adult attention deficit disorder is a mental impairment that is characterized by inattentiveness, difficulty getting work done, procrastination, and difficulty with organization. The estimates are that approximately two to four percent of adults have adult attention deficit disorder. Studies also state that half of all children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) will have persistent attention deficit problems in their adulthood. The diagnosis of adult attention deficit depends on the level of restriction in an individual. Different criterions are used to diagnose the condition such as maturity and behavior. Often adult attention deficit sufferers develop their own coping skills and adaptive behavior. Adults and children with attention deficit disorder have the same diagnostic criteria with the exception that the history of an adult with attention deficit must include verification that certain symptomology was present in childhood. Also, the diagnosis must rule other causes for the symptoms. Adult attention deficit disorder is treated with the same types of medicine used for children who have attention deficit problems.
