Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems. Though it's called adult ADHD , symptoms start in early childhood and continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognized or diagnosed until the person is an adult. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention may continue. Adult ADHD treatment includes medications, psychological counseling psychotherapy and treatment for any mental health conditions that occur along with ADHD. Some people with ADHD have fewer symptoms as they age, but some adults continue to have major symptoms that interfere with daily functioning.
