An online survey of Turkish psychiatrists' attitudes about and experiences of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in clinical practice.

Objective: Although adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often persists beyond childhood, daily clinical practices and transition of adult patients with ADHD into adult mental health services in Turkey are not well studied. The aim of this study was to provide data about the presentation of adult patients with ADHD and evaluate the treatment strategies of Turkish adult psychiatrists based on their personal clinical experience in different hospital settings.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey to be filled out by Turkish adult psychiatrists was designed and administered in May 2014.
