ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that affect functioning at home, school, or work, often starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty focusing, restlessness, and acting without thinking, with different presentations (predominantly inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined). Management involves strategies like therapy, lifestyle adjustments (exercise, sleep), and sometimes medication.
Types of ADHD
Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Focuses on struggles with focus and organization.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Focuses on restlessness and impulsivity.
Combined Presentation: A mix of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
