| Description | ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), like other mental disorders, greatly affects how others perceive their personality. Hyperactive-impulsive symptoms can be perceived as manifestations of extraversion, symptoms of inattention as a lack of motivation or will. ADHD can be misdiagnosed as a personality disorder. At the beginning of 2022, the 11th edition (ICD-11) of the International Classification of Diseases was published. The prior category of Hyperkinetic Disorders has thus disappeared and has been replaced by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Both concepts are now virtually identical. The purpose of this review paper is to 1) showcase the similarities and differences of both concepts; 2) highlight other symptoms that are considered to be a potential part of the ADHD category; 3) describe some of the new challenges this concept may face and 4) facilitate the adoption of the concept of ADHD by experts on Hyperkinetic Disorders. The concept of hyperkinetic disorders had limited useability in diagnosing adolescent and adult patients and a significant bias when diagnosing women. The new concept of ADHD has solved many of these problematic areas, but it still lacks a true psycho-bio-social perspective. The unification of DSM-5 and ICD-11 concepts simplifies interdisciplinary communication at the global level and will provide new sources of information and potential cooperation. |
