DSM-5 and Other Symptom Thresholds for ADHD : Which Is the Best Predictor of Impairment in College Students?
© The Author(s) 2016..
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 5% of adults have ADHD. Despite recommendations regarding the diagnosis of emerging adults, there is not a strong consensus regarding the ideal method for diagnosing ADHD in both emerging and mature adults. We were interested in determining whether a threshold of four, five, or six ADHD symptoms would be associated with significantly different levels of functional impairment and be more or less indicative of a potential ADHD diagnosis.
METHOD: We examined the relation between functional impairment and these ADHD symptom thresholds in 2,577 college students.
RESULTS: Our findings suggest that none of these symptom thresholds are differentially better at predicting functional impairment.
CONCLUSION: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5) threshold of five symptoms for ages 17 years and older is not necessarily predictive of ADHD-related impairment in college students and may not be preferable to other thresholds. Options for resolving this diagnostic dilemma are discussed.
