Conclusions These findings suggest that the apps may not be suitable in meeting the complex needs associated with this condition .
Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) is a complex highly comorbid disorder , which can have a huge impact on those with ADHD , their family , and the community around them .
ADHD is currently managed using pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions .
However , with advances in technology and an increase in the use of mobile apps , managing ADHD can be augmented using apps specifically design ed for this population .
However , little is known regarding the suitability and usability of currently available apps .
Objective The aim of this study was to explore the suitability of the top 10 listed apps for children and young people with ADHD and clinicians who work with them .
It is hypothesized that mobile apps design ed for this population could be more suitably design ed for this population .
Adult psychiatric status of hyperactive boys grown up.
OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have examined the adolescent and young adult fate of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) .  In marked contrast , relatively little is known about the adult outcome of these children . There have been only two controlled , prospect i ve studies of psychiatric status into adulthood . The present study was conducted to gain further underst and ing of the natural course of this common childhood condition . METHOD This was a prospect i ve follow-up of clinical ly diagnosed , white boys of average intelligence who were referred by teachers to a child psychiatric research clinic at an average age of 7.3 years . At a mean age of 24.1 years , 85 prob and s ( 82 % of the childhood cohort ) and 73 comparison subjects ( 94 % of adolescent comparison subjects ) were directly interviewed by trained clinicians who were blind to group status . RESULTS Evaluations of the prob and s and comparison subjects indicated significantly higher prevalences of antisocial personality disorder ( 12 % versus 3 % ) and nonalcohol substance abuse ( 12 % versus 4 % ) in the prob and s , whereas mood disorders ( 4 % versus 4 % ) and anxiety disorders ( 2 % versus 7 % ) were not significantly different . At adult follow-up , ADHD was rare , occurring in only 4 % of the prob and s ( no comparison subjects ) . CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study are consistent with the authors ' previously reported major findings . They strongly suggest that children with ADHD are at significantly higher risk for a specific negative course marked by antisocial and substance-related disorders
