title: Seeking a DM approach to diagnosis, treatment of ADHD in adults.
abstract: Get a handle on diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults. Mental health practitioners are beginning to recognize that adults, too, can have ADHD, but a large percentage of them are falling through the cracks, often with devastating consequences. Further complicating the problem is the fact that there is widespread practice variation in how the disorder is diagnosed and treated. Now some experts are developing standardized assessment tools, and while the science to back up such efforts is admittedly lacking, it is clear that progress is being made.
