Symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can significantly improve or resolve for many people if they stay engaged in demanding work or school activities, a recent study suggests.
Over 11 percent of American children aged 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD, and the rate of diagnosis in U.S. children has steadily increased in recent years.
Severity Can Vary Over Time
Research published in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in October found that environmental factors, such as school, work, and obligations to others, can positively influence symptom fluctuations for people living with ADHD.
