There is so much of the unknown in relation to Adult ADHD/ADD but it is certainly 'out there' and can cause so much interruption to adults who often have a difficult time being accessed often due to insufficient knowledge on suffers who are no longer children.

As a diagnosed adult ADHDer I found the results to the extensive (an expensive!!) psychological assessment the answer to a long life of suffering..AND without medication.
I too suffered depression years ago but recall problems in school, mainly by the time I reached secondary school (which is also a little different) - the changing of rooms and different teachers for different lessons.

It also causes difficulty concentrating on exams and in work places establishing new skills. Personal relationships are often affected too I agree with that comment also.
Since commencing on medication my entire life is changing enormously. The concentration factor is amazing and I can fit much more in to my life now. Children? I can now even out run them
