ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is the most commonly diagnosed childhood mental health condition. But as more adults take their children in for treatment, many are coming to realize that they have been living with undiagnosed ADHD their entire lives. The symptoms can make living with people with ADHD challenging and leave many parents at a loss for how to deal with their child’s behavior.
