There are many benefits to getting a diagnosis as an adult. Finally having a reason for why your brain works the way it does is great. Many adult with ADD who get diagnoses and choose to use medication. Many of these people say that medication has been life changing for them.

There a lot of people are getting diagnoses in the 40's and 50's. I even know of a few people who got the diagnosis in their 70's.

Just make sure that you find a professional who actually understands adult ADD. There are far too many out there who don't.

Good Luck!!!
