Why it matters
"ADHD is often misdiagnosed, and people suffer silently for years."
ADHD doesn't disappear when you grow up.
Many people in New York go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years — sometimes decades. ADHD is characterized by problems with executive skills: inattention, disorganization, restlessness, and impulsivity. It's one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, yet adults are often overlooked. The result is years of silent struggle, self-doubt, and missed potential. If you've been searching for adult ADD help, ADD testing, or help with attention and executive-function problems, the term ADD is now generally included under the diagnosis of ADHD.
