Overview
If left untreated, ADHD can result in poor grades for schoolchildren or poor progress reports/possible termination for working adults. Untreated ADHD can also have negative social consequences, such as isolation from friends.[1]
Natural History
ADHD symptoms can appear as early as between the ages of 3 and 6 and can continue through adolescence and adulthood.[2] The average age of onset of ADHD is 7 years of age.[3]
Complications
Prognosis
Around 70% of patients who are diagnosed with ADHD as children continue to experience severe symptoms throughout adolescence and sometimes into adulthood.[1]
