ADHD

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person's ability to focus, pay attention, and control impulsive behaviors. It's a condition that typically develops in childhood and can continue into adulthood. ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and it is estimated that it affects approximately 5% of children and 2.5% of adults worldwide.

The symptoms of ADHD can vary from person to person and can include difficulty paying attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These symptoms can make it difficult for individuals to function in daily life and can lead to problems at work, school, or in relationships.

Three key symptoms of ADHD are:



1. Inattention: Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty paying attention, following instructions, and completing tasks. They may also forget things easily and be easily distracted.
2. Hyperactivity: Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty sitting still and may be constantly moving or fidgeting. They may also be restless and have trouble staying in one place for long periods of time.
3. Impulsivity: Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty controlling their impulses and may act without thinking about the consequences. They may also interrupt others and have trouble waiting their turn.
