Descomponiendo el síndrome de déficit atencional en el adulto: hacia un entendimiento de su heterogeneidad pronóstica

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by an onset in early life. More than 65% of patients persist with manifestations of ADHD in adulthood. These symptoms may interfere in activities of daily-living, interpersonal relationships and professional and aca...
