Adult ADHD is a behavioral disorder that is much more complex than childhood ADHD. People with this condition are often unaware that they have it -- they often just feel that it's impossible to get organized, to stick to a job, or to keep an appointment. They are also more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Although there is no cure for adult ADHD, treatment with medications and behavioral therapy can help with the symptoms of this condition.
