Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder characterized by signs and symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that affects individuals across the lifespan, including adulthood.1 Many college students with signs and symptoms of ADHD are undiagnosed, and as such, untreated.2 As ADHD symptoms are associated with a host of negative sequalae, it is vital to accurately assess, diagnose and treat university students with ADHD.
