I've read that it gets worse with age, and I believe it.
I was diagnosed at age 21, but I had symptoms since childhood.
Now, at age 46 (and after being unmedicate and out of treatment for 18 years), I definitely feel like it's worse.
That's one of the reasons I finally got back into treatment recently. I was dreading the inevitable downward spiral because they get worse each time.
