A member asked:
Please tell me if it is possible to have adult add if i was never diagnosed as a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: General understanding of add is that it is a 'hardwired' condition--basically, someone is born with a relatively short attention span. It may be diagnosed late, or even never, but if an adult has it, he or she has always had it. It can co-exist with other mental health conditions or learning disabilities.
