Key Concepts

Prevalence by Gender

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed more often in boys than in girls. This reflects differences observed in how symptoms present and are recognized, though it is important to note that underdiagnosis in girls remains a concern due to less disruptive behavioral manifestations.

Age of Onset

ADHD typically manifests in early childhood, with symptoms often becoming apparent before the age of 12. Early onset is a key diagnostic feature that helps differentiate ADHD from other disorders with later onsets.

Chronic Nature of ADHD

While ADHD is considered a childhood disorder, its symptoms frequently persist into adulthood. This long-term continuity means that many individuals continue to face challenges related to attention, impulse control, and executive functioning throughout their lives.
