Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, the quality of life, and the safety of multiple dosing atomoxetine in Asian adult subjects with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Detailed description: The treatment will be initiated at the lowest dosage 40 milligrams per day (mg/day), and it will be titrated up to 80 mg/day. Patients who are unable to tolerate a dose of at least 80 mg/day through the end of this study will be discontinued. The dosage will be titrated up to a maximum of 120 mg/day.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients must have a score of 2 or greater on at least 6 items of either the inattentive or hyperactive/impulsive core subscales at randomization or screening on the rated Conners' Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-Investigator Rated: Screening Version (CAARS-Inv:SV) 18-item total ADHD symptom score. In addition, their total score on the 18-item total ADHD symptom score must be 20 or greater.
* Patients must have a Clinical Global Impressions-Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Severity score of 4 (moderate symptoms) or greater.
* Patients must have been judged by the investigator to be reliable to keep appointments for clinic visits and all tests, required by the protocol.
* Patients must possess an educational level and degree of understanding of the language of their country that enables them to communicate suitably with the investigator and study coordinator.
* Patients must be able to swallow capsules.

* Patients who meet DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for current anxiety disorder and also patients who require anti-anxiety drug therapy, except for those taking benzodiazepine analogs for anxiety, which need to be limited.
* Patients who have been diagnosed (DSM-IV-TR) with a pervasive developmental disorder.
* Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are at serious suicidal risk or serious risk of harming others, or whose score for Item 11 on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 items is equal or more than 2 at randomization or screening.
* Patients who have received atomoxetine in a prior clinical study.
* Patients with significant medical conditions that are likely to become unstable during the trial or would likely be destabilized by treatment with atomoxetine.
* Patients with a history of allergy to atomoxetine, severe allergies to more than 1 class of medications, or multiple adverse drug reactions.
* Patients who have received treatment within the past 30 days with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication at the time the informed consent document is obtained.
