ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that often emerges in childhood. The excess inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity characteristic of this disorder can often disrupt a person’s daily life. But the condition is often missed or misdiagnosed in adulthood. A new survey found that as many as one in four adults think they have the elusive condition.
A new survey commissioned by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine found that 25 percent of adults believe they have undiagnosed ADHD, but only 13 percent of respondents had brought their concerns to a doctor. Without proper medical input, patients risk receiving improper treatment.
