Dr. Shirley Hershko Highlights Lifelong Impact of ADHD in Adults
Dr. Shirley Hershko, a senior expert in ADHD, emphasizes that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is not limited to childhood but persists throughout life. Hershko notes that ADHD is a congenital neurological condition affecting 5% to 10% of the population, many of whom remain undiagnosed. The disorder can lead to significant challenges in adulthood, including issues with self-esteem, relationships, and an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Hershko stresses the importance of professional diagnosis and tailored treatment, which may include medication, emotional support, and cognitive-behavioral coaching. These interventions can significantly improve quality of life and help individuals manage symptoms effectively.
