ADHD After 40: A Guide to Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Later in Life

The diagnostic criteria for ADHD are largely based on studies of young white boys and do not reflect the lived experiences of many adults with the condition, which changes with age. This gap between clinical guidance and real-life symptoms has contributed to a significant problem with misdiagnosis, missed diagnoses, and inadequate treatment for individuals who slipped under the ADHD radar in childhood.

Adults presenting with ADHD symptoms deserve to be diagnosed and treated — no matter the age. The ADHD After 40 eBook is designed to help adults seeking or receiving a first-time diagnosis understand their symptoms, treatment options, and best strategies for living and flourishing with ADHD.

In its 185+ pages, ADHD After 40 includes expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• Why it’s never too late to get an ADHD diagnosis
• How to differentiate normal aging from ADHD
• Why we need U.S. diagnosis and treatment guidelines for adults with ADHD
• What to do when your doctor doesn’t believe you have ADHD
• How hormonal changes impact ADHD symptoms
• Why stimulant medications are safe for older adults
• How to process, grieve, and accept a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis
• And much more!

Above all, older adults will gain insights about symptoms, treatment options, the role of hormonal fluctuations, and ways to successfully live with ADHD.
