Research Notes on Adult ADHD


Many people mistakenly believe that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) only affects children.1 In reality, as many as 4% of all adults have adult ADHD.2 Many adults go for years without knowing they have this disorder.1

Fast Facts:

  • About 60% of children with ADHD may continue to have symptoms as an adult.3
  • Adult ADHD affects males and females at about the same rate.2
  • Treatment for adult ADHD typically involves medication and behavioral therapy.4
