"In all likelihood, ADHD impacts at least some of the couples mental health professional are currently counseling,” said Melissa Orlov, marriage consultant and author of The ADHD Effect on Marriage. “Since more than half of the adults with ADHD are undiagnosed, it's not always obvious that ADHD is at the core of the couples' problems.
