Besides the attention problems are there any other problems ADD individuals face?
There appears to be a much higher risk of anxiety disorder in untreated ADD adults. There also is a much greater depression rate. Many also experience physical symptoms of protracted stress such as GIRD. Some grind their teeth at night. It stands to reason that years of frustration and failure experiences might wear you down! Often adults present emotional and behavioral problems initially, but on closer inspection they have had a lifetime of underachievement and frustration. For many, addressing the ADD issues helps out considerably in these various problem areas.
