ADHD is no longer an issue for children only.

FRIDAY, Nov. 1, 2019 -- If the latest statistics are any indication, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is no longer an issue for children only.However, the rate among children remains much higher than in adults.

For the study, researchers analyzed data from more than 5 million Kaiser Permanente Northern California patients, and found that the percentage of adults with a diagnosis of ADHD rose from 0.43% in 2007 to 0.96% in 2016.Adults with other mental health conditions -- such as depression, and bipolar, anxiety or eating disorders -- were more likely to have ADHD. The researchers also found that adults with ADHD had higher rates of health care use and sexually transmitted infections.

"And," he added,"we must develop more effective diagnostic tools and standards for adults, who, in general, remain more challenging to diagnose than children."
