Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder often characterized by difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects about 5-7% of children and adolescents globally (and approximately 9% nationally). Children or adolescents with ADHD may struggle to focus during school lessons or sit still for extended periods; they may struggle to delay their pleasure or persevere in the face of frustration or boredom. Adults with ADHD may frequently lose or misplace important objects (like keys or phones) and struggle to keep track of deadlines, appointments, or tasks. They may make impulsive purchases, interrupt others during conversations, and struggle to complete tasks. Although symptoms emerge during childhood, they often continue into adulthood; ADHD affects individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Professional care is essential for accurate diagnosis and the development of effective skills for lasting symptom management.
