Adults with undiagnosed ADHD are at a much higher level of risk of experiencing problems as compared to the general population. They have a much higher rate of experiencing mood disorders (such as depression and anxiety) and often experience intense mood and behavior swings that can lead to poor quality of life.   Those with undiagnosed ADHD may find themselves struggling with: • Keeping jobs • Substance abuse • Managing compulsive habits • Steering clear of dangerous choices and/or decisions • Having healthy romantic relationships    • Maintaining friendships • Poor self-esteem • Increased rates of accidents • Taking care of themselves and/or their home environment • Planning • Being on time   While ADHD in itself is not a physically debilitating disease, symptoms that are left unmanaged can lead to severe outcomes that affect one’s mental and physical health. A primary care physician or an ADHD specialist will be able to diagnose the condition as well as provide a tailor-made treatment plan to best manage symptoms.
