It was once believed that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) only affects children and will heal on its own when children grow up. Studies find that if child ADHD is untreated, it can continue into adulthood. Symptoms include impatience, irritability, anxiety, and depression. ADHD is a chronic process. The symptoms can persist for years or even life-long. Like child ADHD, adult ADHD can also affect learning, work and daily life.
