"ADHD Across the Lifespan: Understanding the Evolution of Symptoms" explores how ADHD manifests differently at various stages of life. While the core features of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity remain consistent, their presentation evolves as individuals age. In children, ADHD is often characterized by overt hyperactivity—such as running, climbing, and excessive talking—while teens and adults may experience more subtle forms, like restlessness and difficulty focusing. In adulthood, ADHD can present significant challenges in the workplace, relationships, and emotional regulation. It’s crucial to distinguish between typical developmental behaviors and the more persistent and severe symptoms of ADHD, which can severely impact daily functioning and quality of life across all age groups. This topic provides insight into recognizing ADHD and differentiating it from normal developmental variations.
