Diagnostic changes aim to identify more adults w/ ADHD

Proposed changes in the diagnostic manual used by psychiatrists would describe what attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder looks like in adults and teens. The revised "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" would lower the number of symptoms to four from six needed to diagnose the condition in adults, and would likely increase the number of adults seen as having the disorder.
