The Evolution of ADHD

The majority of kids and teenagers diagnosed ADHD still meet clinical criteria for the condition going on into adulthood. There's some evidence that overdevelopment, hyperactive, impulsive symptoms do remit or lessen to some degree. But at the same time, they may still be present at a higher level than they are in other adults. Inattentive symptoms persist into adulthood and may continue to impair the person in relationships, in work settings, or in a variety of ways.
