Murat Pakyurek

Abstract

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a very common psychiatric condition in general population. Our understanding of its neurodevelopmental basis and mechanisms has improved greatly over the past two decades yet there are still many unknowns regarding the specifics of such mechanisms. In this case series we report three adult women who met the criteria for ADHD and similar sexual dysfunction. Their sexual dysfunction improved greatly once they were treated for their Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
