ADHD is a lifelong disorder that can continue to cause difficulties, if left undiagnosed and untreated, with relationships, at home, at university, and in the workplace.  But there are many strategies that we can use to help us overcome or bypass any hurdles and obstacles, and that can help us to use our own talents and strengths and to realise our own potential.
