Adhd is a genetic neurological disorder.
The first symptoms can be seen when the child is around 3-12 years old. Almost 20% of children diagnosed with adhd were most likely misdiagnosed. So nearly 1 million of kids don't have the proper treatment. If you were diagnosed with adhd at a young age and you don't really identify with any of the symptoms you should go ask for another professional opinion.
