Did you know that ADHD is not just a childhood condition? It can continue into adulthood for many people. It's also not something a person 'grows out of.' In fact, about 60% of children with ADHD still have symptoms in adulthood. #ADHD #behavioralhealth

That's right, and get this - ADHD is not a disorder of not paying attention at all. In some cases, it's actually too much attention paid to many things at once! This is why fidgeting and restlessness are often seen in people with ADHD. #focuschallenges #ADHD

Wow, I didn't realize that! I also heard that ADHD can affect both men and women, but it's often overlooked in girls and women because they may present with different symptoms like daydreaming or forgetfulness instead of hyperactivity. #ADHD #mentalhealth
