Zusammenfassung

Bei der ADHS des Erwachsenenalters geht die Hyperaktivität über in eine erhöhte innere Unruhe und Impulsivität oder verliert sich. Die Aufmerksamkeitsstörung ist gleichbleibend, wird jedoch weniger auffällig durch Entwicklung von Kompensationsmechanismen. Kennzeichnend sind eine Verbreiterung der Symptomatik sowie häufiges Auftreten von vielfältigen Begleiterkrankungen. Die verminderte Selbststeuerung und die verringerten Möglichkeiten der Traumaverarbeitung machen diese Entwicklung verständlich.

Summary

Hyperactivity may change to internal restlessness and impulsivity, attention deficit does not strike so much due to strategies for compensation: adult ADHD is characterised by a widening of symptoms and an higher incidence of comorbidities. This is explained by the reduced facilities of self control and the smaller capabilities to cope with traumata.

Key Words

adult ADHD - comorbidities - self control
