ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can be diagnosed in both children and adults. It primarily affects three areas of functioning: attention, impulse control, and activity level. Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty sitting still, staying focused on tasks, and resisting impulsive behaviors. These challenges can interfere with everyday life, making it harder to succeed at school, work, or in relationships.


Although ADHD cannot be cured, effective treatments—including medication, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle adjustments—can significantly improve quality of life and help individuals function at their best.

COMMON SYMPTOMS:


Symptoms can vary from person to person, but may include:

  • Restlessness or feeling "on the go"
  • Difficulty paying attention or maintaining focus
  • Impulsivity and acting without thinking
  • Frequent fidgeting or squirming
  • Disorganization
  • Frequently losing items
  • Trouble managing time or meeting deadlines
  • Difficulty delaying gratification or resisting temptation

ADHD can impact various areas of life, including social relationships, academic or job performance, and daily routines at home. Adults with untreated ADHD often report high levels of anxiety or stress, often related to the cumulative effects of these ongoing challenges.
