FAQ

Can you develop ADHD as a teenager?

Yes, although some teens are diagnosed with ADHD when they are younger there are others that develop the disorder in adolescence. Some ADHD teens have simply gone undiagnosed until high school.

Can you be diagnosed with ADHD at 14?

Yes, ADHD can be diagnosed in 14-year-olds just as it can be diagnosed at virtually any age. For children to be diagnosed with ADHD the symptoms need to have been present before 12-years-old. 14-year-olds may have had ADHD for years but gone undiagnosed. Alternatively, the disorder may develop as the child enters his teens and faces hormonal changes, new social situations and the academic demands of high school.

What are the symptoms of ADHD in teenage girls?

ADHD in female teens is usually diagnosed as Primarily Inattentive Type ADHD and not hyperactivity-impulsivity. ADHD in teenage girls may appear in different ways than it does in boys. Female teens with ADHD may experience anxiety, grief or fear. ADHD teenage girls can often appear to be daydreaming; not paying attention in class; they may have trouble making friendships and perfectionism may be a sign of their ADHD.
