Is it most common for children to be diagnosed with ADHD?

ADHD is listed in the DSM-IV-TR under the category "Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence". This doesn't mean adults cannot be diagnosed with ADHD, it just means "typically" children are diagnosed. It can "go away" for some... and some people have to deal with it throughout their lives.

I don't think it "happens over night". It is a spectrum disorder... there is large variance in severity for some. It can get better or worse.

I have heard of several children having ADHD, does it go away or does it pretty much stay with you for life. Also if adults run the risk of getting it, is it something that happens over night, or is it a condition that they had since they were a child and were never treated for it? Is ADHD something that both children and adults can both be diagnosed with?

Or does it only effect children? If it can effect both children and adults alike, which age group runs more risk of having this condition? I have heard of several children having ADHD, does it go away or does it pretty much stay with you for life.

Also if adults run the risk of getting it, is it something that happens over night, or is it a condition that they had since they were a child and were never treated for it?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
