Believe it or not, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States, and yet still one of the most under-diagnosed and under-treated.¹ With most people receiving their diagnosis as kids, the neurodevelopmental disorder is often thought of as a childhood condition–but it’s that generalization that can make recognizing and addressing adult ADHD a real challenge.²
