Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adult ADHD) is a mental health condition that causes inattention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD symptoms can lead to a number of problems, including unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, and low self-esteem.

成人注意力/多动障碍（成人多动症）是一种导致注意力不集中，多动和冲动行为的精神状态。成人多动症会导致包括人际关系不稳定，工作或学校表现不佳以及自信不足在内的一系列问题。

ADHD always starts in early childhood, but in some cases it's not diagnosed until later in life. It was once thought that ADHD was limited to childhood. But symptoms can persist into adulthood. For some people, adult ADHD causes significant problems that improve with treatment.

多动症多起于童年早期，但部分患者在生活后期才得以诊断。多动症曾经被认为只出现在童年时期，但成年时期已发现多动症症状持续。成人多动症在部分人群中能带来显著问题，尽管可通过治疗改善。

Treatment for adult ADHD is similar to treatment for childhood ADHD, and includes stimulant drugs or other medications, psychological counseling (psychotherapy) and treatment for any mental health conditions that occur along with adult ADHD.

成人多动症的治疗同童年时期多动症相似，包括兴奋性药物或其它药物，心理咨询（心理疗法）以及改善成人多动症患者精神状况所需的治疗措施。
