3 in 100 adults have ADHD

Adults can also suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a malady chiefly associated with children, the Association of German Neurologists (BVDN) says.

It says that adults with ADHD are easily distracted, forgetful and have difficulty organizing themselves. Further symptoms are outbursts of rage and socially inappropriate behavior. It is estimated that 3 to 4 percent of all adults have ADHD.
