Many adults with ADHD are not properly diagnosed until later in life. Once they are diagnosed and treated for the condition, they often say they feel their life is back on the path to achieving everyday success. They are thrilled feeling like they can finally focus, are less distracted and can better manage their time.... However, the general public remains uninformed of the condition. Watch as our panel discusses and debunks some of the most common misconceptions about ADHD in adults.

Overcoming life’s everyday challenges with ADHD begins with finding a healthcare professional to discuss your diagnosis and develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. It’s important to identify all your symptoms and how they impact your life each day, as this helps your healthcare professional to focus on... your individual needs. Many adults find that medication is the first step toward managing their ADHD as you’ll see in this chapter.
