What is New about ADHD for children and adults

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a brain disorder that often manifests in childhood. It can cause difficulty with things like attention, organization, and mood, and can lead to hyperactivity and impulsivity.
There are known differences between the brains of children with ADHD and children without the condition, particularly in the frontal lobe.
However, some people do not receive a diagnosis of ADHD until later in life.
The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that the number of adults with ADHD may be higher than data suggests. Many children assigned female at birth also go undiagnosed until adulthood because ADHD can present differently in females.
Untreated ADHD can significantly affect daily functioning, from work and school to relationships.
