Beschreibungen/Notizen

• We present here the results of studies of 34 patients aged 18–30 years with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (ICD-10 F90.0). The form of ADHD with predominance of inattention was more frequent in adults (50% of patients), while the form with predominance of hyperactivity (11.7%) and the combined form (38.3%) were less common. The status of adult patients with ADHD was characterized by high levels of anxiety and asthenia. The efficacy and safety of Adaptol at a dose of 1500 mg/day for eight weeks were studied in the treatment of this group of patients. Clinical, psychological, and neurophysiological data demonstrated the high efficacy (improvements in 64.7% of cases) and safety of Adaptol.
