Adult Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a misnomer, as it implies that ADHD can develop in adulthood. Assessment of ADHD in adults has dramatically increased, as many adults have sought evaluation for the development of Adult ADHD.
This is primarily due to the “popularizing” of the diagnosis on social media and television. Other times, individuals have presented for assessment because they have been diagnosed by another provider but failed treatment or changed providers. Sometimes, an assessment is requested because a relative has been diagnosed. Other times, it’s because they have struggled with difficulties that don’t fit previous diagnoses. Individuals then begin to wonder if ADHD is the explanation for struggles with attention, organization, time management, unfinished projects, forgetfulness, irritability, impulsive spending, etc.
