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.
