Even if you feel you've "gotten through" life pretty well so far, there are some compelling reasons to get help if you think you may have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Research shows that adults with ADHD have much higher risk for certain problems than adults who don't have ADHD. Adults with ADHD are:

• More than twice as likely to be arrested²
• Twice as likely to get divorced²
• Twice as likely to hold 6 or more jobs in a 10-year period²
• At higher risk of getting into auto accidents³
