Adult ADHD is also called as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. An overwhelming majority (92%) of adults diagnosed with ADHD.
The ADHD affects on school performance. Symptoms continue into adulthood for about 60% of children with ADHD. Many people have a stereotypical picture in their head of what someone with attention deficit disorder looks like: hyperactive, loud, a whirlwind of energy and unchecked impulses. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. Adults with ADHD can be withdrawn and antisocial. The diagnosis of ADD can only be made on the basis of a detailed history and mental status examination. Although attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is usually associated with children, it can be a lifelong disorder. The ADHD afflicts approximately 3% to 5% of school-age children and an estimated 60% of those will maintain the disorder into adulthood.
