Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition that affects between 3% and 5% of school children and 2% and 4% of adults. ADHD symptoms are also different between adults and children which makes the diagnosis more difficult.
The diagnosis of ADHD appears to be more common and more socially acceptable in children than it does in adults.
