Characteristics of the hyperactive child syndrome have been described extensively. More recently, reports have indicated that manifestation of the hyperactive child syndrome may persist into adulthood, both as a continuation of childhood symptoms and as psychopathologic entities. This study evaluated 100 adult psychiatric inpatient Veterans for self-report of symptoms of childhood and adulthood hyperactivity, attentional deficit, and impulsivity.

In both childhood and adulthood, character disorder patients reported the highest incidence of target symptoms.
