ADHD Across the Lifespan

While ADHD is diagnosed most frequently during childhood, it is a life-long disorder that may result in a wide variety of issues at any age. However, these issues are unlikely to be the same during teenage years as they are during childhood. This may change the way diagnosis occurs, how treatment is conducted, and what accommodations are necessary. Here, we have broken it down into three groups: preschool age, childhood, and teenage years. However, ADHD can also cause difficulties in adult adults of all ages, impacting their work, education, and social domains, among others.
