Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as ADHD, is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. It will normally appear in childhood and some symptoms will persist into adulthood. People with ADHD may struggle with inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, making daily tasks challenging. Symptoms vary but often include difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and restlessness.
ADHD is not a result of poor parenting or lack of effort but is linked to genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Diagnosis and treatment, including therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication, can significantly improve quality of life.
