The ADHD in Kids Debate: Can a Child Really Outgrow ADHD?

HOW CAN I HELP YOU? 👇

Do kids grow out of ADHD? If someone came into my office and asked me if their child can grow out of adhd, the psychologist in me might say, “that’s a really great question. What do you think is making you ask that?” Because I think the answer to THIS question is even more important than the answer to whether or not they’ll outgrow it. SO in this video, I’ll talk about answers to both of these. And about how what we know about ADHD symptoms has changed in recent years.

This hits hard for an ADHD Adult diagnosed very early so they didn’t really believe that I did have ADHD and thought I would outgrow it. As I got older I cried almost every day and constantly asked myself ‘Why can’t I just be normal?’ Or ‘Why can’t I just focus?’ It was hard.
