Frequently Asked Questions

The National Resource Center on AD|HD
(NRC) provides answers to most of the commonly asked questions about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed neurobehavioral disorder in children. Although a child’s symptoms may change as he/she gets older, most individuals do not outgrow ADHD. In fact, for most individuals with ADHD, symptoms continue into adulthood. It is estimated that 4-6 percent of adults continue to face many of the challenges of ADHD. 

If you or someone you love has ADHD, you probably have many questions. Our list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) addresses many of these, which include questions such as:

• Is there a simple test to diagnose ADHD?
• Can you help me find a summer camp for my child?
• Can a woman with ADHD take stimulant medication while pregnant?

See the full list of FAQs.
