Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a common, highly heritable childhood-onset psychiatric disorder affecting 2% – 6% of children worldwide. The recent paper examines the effects of child and adult ADHD symptoms in adults among male students on adult addiction acknowledgment and alcoholism potential. This article is an original study which provides that adult ADHD and child ADHD predict addiction acknowledgment while child ADHD and impulsivity predict alcohol potential.
