Experienced consequences of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult - a qualitative study.
(2015) In BMC Psychiatry 15(1).- Abstract
- Despite increasing knowledge of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across the life span, there is still little research on adults' own experiences of being diagnosed with ADHD. The aim of the present study was to explore and describe patients' experiences and perceptions of being diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. The study can be seen as an attempt to validate the diagnosis from a patient perspective.
