What is Screening for Adult ADHD about?

## Purpose of review: This review paper aims to update readers on the importance of screening for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) in adults and to provide a primer on how best to screen and diagnose this condition in an efficient and reliable manner. ## Recent findings: The asrs screening scale was updated in 2017 to reflect the changes made to identify adhd based on the dsm-5 criteria and to reflect our understanding that adult adhd is characterized by executive functioning deficits that are not explicitly reflected in the dsm-5 criteria. the use of the asrs screening scale improves the clinician's ability to rapidly identify adult patients who require a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose adhd and/or other comorbid psychiatric conditions. the scale has been validated for use in both the general population and in the adhd specialty treatment population, which supports its use by both general clinicians and mental health clinicians. identification of adult adhd is critical due to the profound personal, familial, and societal costs associated with this condition.
