Question: Hi professor, at a recent meeting with my psychologist he told me that in a few years time there will be no point in continuing my medication because as someone with ADHD goes into their mid 20's ADHD "swaps" for a different mental disorder and the ADHD symptoms go away. I believe he was referring to anxiety and depression but im not entirely sure. I was curious about your input on this. In case its relevant im a 20 year old female.
  
  Edit: I forgot to mention he also said it is rare for people to be on ADHD stimulant meds after the mid 20's.
Answer: &gt;Your provider is very wrong.  The best hope for such provider is to learn about ADHD. I encourage patients to give them a copy of the International Consensus Statement on ADHD: [https://bit.ly/35ZVUR7](https://bit.ly/35ZVUR7).
