This chapter explores how ADHD symptoms can change over different life stages, often leading to misdiagnoses as conditions like anxiety. It emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing ADHD in adulthood, suggesting that new symptoms may arise from various underlying factors rather than a new onset of the disorder.
