This can make treatment more challenging.

Although it is often first diagnosed in childhood, there has been a rise in adults diagnosed with ADHD.

Adult ADHD systems may not be as clear as those in children, and many adults are often unaware they have it. For adults, hyperactivity may decrease but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness, and difficulty paying attention continue. This makes everyday tasks like getting ready for the day, getting to work on time and staying productive and organized can be extremely difficult and overwhelming.
