Because the symptoms, and how they show up in different life circumstances, can change. For instance, the telltale fidgetiness and hyperactivity that we associate with kids diagnosed with ADHD tend to decrease as people get older, says Nwogwugwu. \u201cSymptoms in adulthood can be more subtle and varied, and often include disorganization, impulsive decision-making, internal restlessness, wandering attention, and procrastination,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h2>Why does it sometimes feel like ADHD gets worse with age?<\/h2>\n<p>For many people who live with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/adhd-black-women\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/adhd-black-women\/\">adult ADHD<\/a>, it can sometimes feel like symptoms grow <em>worse<\/em> as they get into their 20s. Some of this may be perception, but there can also be lifestyle factors that can exacerbate the challenges of ADHD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe increased professional and academic demands that come with age make ADHD symptoms more apparent in some people,\u201d explains Nwogwugwu. \u201cSignificant factors that play a role in exacerbating ADHD include entering into new stages of development, such as adolescence or adulthood; increased stress levels; and competing demands on time, such as work and family responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/does-adhd-get-worse-with-age\/\" current-title=\"This Is How ADHD Symptoms Can Change As We Age\" current-image=\"GettyImages-does-adhd-get-worse-with-age.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-12\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/does-adhd-get-worse-with-age\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/does-adhd-get-worse-with-age\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/does-adhd-get-worse-with-age\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In addition to environment\u2014and genetics\u2014Nwogwugwu says that there are also some lifestyle choices that may make ADHD symptoms worse. Think: lack of exercise, eating out often or eating too much highly-processed food, skipping breakfast, having a messy home or office, getting too much screen time, or not logging enough sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even if you live as optimally as possible, Nwogwugwu says that adults with ADHD may experience fluctuations in their symptoms over time, particularly worsening during the menopausal transition. In fact, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.additudemag.com\/hormones-adhd-women-puberty-pregnancy-menopause-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.additudemag.com\/hormones-adhd-women-puberty-pregnancy-menopause-research\/\">survey of 2,700<\/a> patients found that a majority of women and men with ADHD experienced their most severe symptoms during menopause and andropause, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHormonal fluctuations during menopause play a key role and are the number-one reason people experience severe ADHD symptoms. These fluctuations impact brain chemicals to trigger mood disorders such as anxiety and depression that can co-occur along with ADHD and worsen the situation,\u201d explains Nwogwugwu. \u201cIt\u2019s not uncommon for people to experience difficulty focusing, irritability, and low mood during menopause alongside depression and anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from this life period, overall ADHD does not typically worsen with age, Nwogwugwu says. And in fact, with the right supports, awareness, and management strategies, adults with ADHD can learn how to better handle the challenges of ADHD so that it is less impactful than it may have been in younger years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGenerally, symptoms are <em>different<\/em> in adulthood, but do not grow worse with age,\u201d she notes. \u201cAdults also have more resources and coping skills to manage their symptoms as they age.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How ADHD differs in women<\/h2>\n<p>Nwogwugwu says that currently, significantly more biological males are diagnosed with ADHD compared to biological females. However, this disparity is not necessarily because men are more likely to have ADHD. It&#8217;s just that symptoms of ADHD often appear differently in women than the \u201cclassic ADHD\u201d symptoms of men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adhdcentre.co.uk\/female-vs-male-adhd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.adhdcentre.co.uk\/female-vs-male-adhd\/\">Male ADHD<\/a> is more likely to be presented externally, whereas female ADHD symptoms are often internalized and therefore not as noticeable,\u201d explains Nwogwugwu. \u201cContemporary assessment still focuses on external behaviors, since ADHD was first defined based on the behavior of hyperactive boys.\u201d That means many women go undiagnosed\u2014both in childhood and adulthood.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for managing adult ADHD<\/h2>\n<p>If you feel like your ADHD is harder to manage than it was when you were a kid, don&#8217;t give up. There are a variety of ways you can take charge of your symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/manage-adhd-without-medication\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/manage-adhd-without-medication\/\">Evidence-based medication<\/a> and psychotherapy may help manage ADHD but there are also effective <a href=\"https:\/\/advancedpsychiatryassociates.com\/resources\/blog\/strategies-for-adults-living-with-adhd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/advancedpsychiatryassociates.com\/resources\/blog\/strategies-for-adults-living-with-adhd\/\">behavioral strategies<\/a> that can foster management of symptoms in the moment,\u201c says Nwogwugwu.
