En beteendestörning som debuterar under barndomen och som karakteriseras av onormal ouppmärksamhet, impulsivitet och hyperaktivitet. Även om de flesta drabbade visar symtom på både koncentrationsoförmåga och hyperaktivitet-impulsivitet, så kan det ena eller andra mönstret vara dominerande. Symtomen försvagas vanligen under tonåren, men ett fåtal drabbade kan ha symtomen kvar till vuxen ålder.
A behavior disorder originating in childhood in which the essential features are signs of developmentally inappropriate inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, one or the other pattern may be predominant. The disorder is more frequent in males than females. Onset is in childhood. Symptoms often attenuate during late adolescence although a minority experience the full complement of symptoms into mid-adulthood. (From DSM-V)
