What is ADHD

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person's ability to focus, control impulses, and manage hyperactivity. It can present in different ways, with some individuals primarily experiencing inattentiveness, others hyperactivity and impulsivity, or a combination of both. Symptoms may include difficulty staying organized, trouble paying attention, forgetfulness, and impulsive actions.

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis can be important because it provides clarity and understanding about one's challenges. It opens the door to targeted treatments like medication, therapy, and coping strategies that can improve focus, productivity, and overall quality of life. A diagnosis can also help in academic, workplace, or social settings by providing access to accommodations and support systems.
