Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, affects tens of millions of people in the U.S. A new study published last month shows that the medications commonly prescribed to treat ADHD

work differently than researchers originally thought.

That development could carry big implications for the roughly one in nine children and one in

16 adults with ADHD.

That's according to an analysis from the nonprofit children

and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or Chad. As researchers learn more about

the brain and its complexities, they're also gaining new insights into what ADHD looks like

across different ages, genders, and races. Over the past five years, more adults,

especially women, are getting diagnosed than ever before. So what do you need to know about ADHD,

from symptoms and diagnoses to treatment? We're talking all about it for the latest installment

of our series in Good Health, where we tackle the health issues that most affect us and put your questions to the experts.
