What is "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder"?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Individuals with ADHD may have trouble focusing, staying organized, and controlling their impulses. Symptoms can vary widely and may include forgetfulness, difficulty following instructions, excessive talking, fidgeting, difficulty waiting or taking turns, and interrupting others. ADHD can impact academic performance, social interactions, and daily functioning. The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood but is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, therapy, and behavior management techniques to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effective management of ADHD.
