Detailed explanation-1: -ADHD affects about 4.2% of U.S. adults. But there are likely many more adults with undiagnosed ADHD. In some cases, it may be difficult to diagnose ADHD in adulthood due to other conditions such as depression and anxiety. You may recognize the symptoms of ADHD in yourself during your child’s diagnosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Or do you have doubts yourself? All the major medical groups–including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, and National Institutes of Health–recognize attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder as a valid condition that should be treated.
Detailed explanation-3: -As ADHD is a developmental disorder, it’s believed it cannot develop in adults without it first appearing during childhood. But symptoms of ADHD in children and teenagers often continue into adulthood.
