05 Aug Myths about ADHD

Myth: Unless you have been diagnosed with ADHD as a child, you can’t have it as an adult.

Fact: Approximately 10 million adults experience symptoms due to ADHD, and 7.5 million are not even aware of it.  Many adults have struggled all their lives with unrecognized ADHD symptoms. Most individuals fail to obtain treatment help because those who have ADHD often have overlapping symptoms with other behavioral disorders. In fact, about 87% of patients diagnosed with ADHD actually have two or more sets of overlapping symptoms.
