摘要

Michielsen et al, while describing the background and aim of this study, mention that ADHD could lead to significant impairment in older age without providing evidence of such impairment. Certainly from clinical experience and previous studies we know that there are other mental disorders such as depressive illness, anxiety disorder and dementia which are relatively common in older age and likely to cause either similar or more severe impairment. The authors discuss this in some detail in their description of the limitations of this study but fail to consider this when drawing a conclusion about prevalence. It is essential, according to DSM-IV criteria, for a diagnosis of ADHD to rule out any possibility of the symptoms being better accounted for by another mental disorder. Unfortunately, the authors do not rule this out while studying the prevalence despite using a diagnostic instrument strongly based on the DSM-IV criteria.
