title: Long-term outcome of hyperactive children.
abstract: A review of outcome studies of hyperactive children suggests that they experience significant academic, social, and conduct difficulties during adolescence, and that social, emotional, and impulse problems persist into young adulthood for the majority. While some hyperactive children were found to be functioning normally as adults, a troublesome minority were experiencing severe psychiatric or antisocial problems.
