Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, isn't only a kid's problem. Many adults, especially those of us who grew up before there was much awareness of this problem, may struggle with this disorder without realizing it.

Traits that hurt their self-esteem — not to mention their education, employment and finances — and drive their spouses crazy may not be due to laziness or indifference, but rather to undiagnosed adult ADHD, according to Gina Pera.
