Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition linked with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD typically arises in childhood and continues through adolescence and adulthood; many people with ADHD aren’t diagnosed until adulthood.
ADHD can have a negative impact on your child’s school performance, self-esteem, and social interactions, resulting in difficulties forming friendship bonds and ongoing behavioral problems. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a significant impact on your child’s learning and emotional well-being.
Every individual with a diagnosis of ADHD experiences symptoms differently. Symptoms are usually more severe in children than adults, but ADHD can interfere with school or work performance, self-confidence, and personal relationships no matter the age of the patient. ADHD symptoms fall within three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Examples of inattention include:
Examples of hyperactivity include:
