Preferred term

attention deficit disorders  

Definition

  • First classified as a psychiatric disorder in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association in 1981 as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, that is, as one condition with two different manifestations. DSM-III, revised in 1987, distinguished them as two different conditions, while DSM-IV (1994) has reclassified them as the same disorder.
