When I was first diagnosed it was hard to find a comprehensive list of ADHD symptoms. Today you’ll find symptom lists and screener quizzes in magazines, newspapers, and online.
But the gold standard that doctors start with are the 18 symptoms found in the formidable reference book, the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual V. This latest edition, the 5th, was published in 2013.
And while the symptom list is very useful, there DSM also lays out a number of factors and conditions that must be met. The wording can be confusing but let’s look at what they mean and what they say about ADHD.
Best,
