Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children and adults worldwide. The disorder is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), ADHD affects about 5-8% of children and adolescents and 2.5-5% of adults globally.
ADHD symptoms can present differently between males and females. For example, girls with ADHD may be more likely to exhibit inattentive symptoms, such as daydreaming or losing things, while boys may display more hyperactive-impulsive behaviors, such as fidgeting or interrupting others. Females with ADHD may also be more likely to go undiagnosed due to their ability to compensate for their symptoms through social conformity and a greater ability to mask their difficulties.
ADHD symptoms can also vary between children and adults. In children, hyperactive and impulsive behaviors are more commonly observed, while in adults, symptoms of inattention may be more prevalent. Adults with ADHD may also struggle with executive functioning skills such as time management, organization, and decision-making. They may have difficulties in the workplace, in personal relationships, and with self-esteem.
If you suspect that you or someone you know may have ADHD, it is essential to seek professional diagnosis and treatment. ADHD can significantly impact daily life, affecting academic, occupational, and social functioning. However, with appropriate treatment, including medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes, individuals with ADHD can learn to manage their symptoms effectively.

The average age to be diagnosed with ADHD is seven. You can begin showing symptoms as early as three years old. While a lot of ADHD is caught in childhood, it's perfectly normal for it to be missed. It's possible a missed diagnosis can lead to some pretty bad coping habits that will affect a person's career and home life. Four percent of American adults deal with symptoms of ADHD daily. In the past eight years, there's been an increase of diagnoses by 42%. Sometimes ADHD is misdiagnosed as general anxiety disorder. While anxiety and ADHD do share some common symptoms, there are a few classic ADHD symptoms you can watch out for.
