Living with AD/HD: A Lifespan Disorder

Topics in this section:

For many years, AD/HD was thought of only as a children's condition. In fact, many health professionals currently in practice were trained during a time when they were taught that AD/HD is something that kids would outgrow.

We now know this is not true. AD/HD is neurobiological disorder that affects individuals across the lifespan.
