Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder 

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by consistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can significantly impact an individual’s functioning and development; people with ADHD often struggle with organization, time management, and maintaining focus, and treatment typically involves behavioral therapy, educational support, and potentially stimulant medications like methylphenidate or amphetamines. Key points about ADHD:

• Symptoms: Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are the primary symptoms, which can manifest in various ways like difficulty focusing, excessive fidgeting, talking excessively, acting without thinking, and poor organizational skills. 

• Diagnosis: ADHD is diagnosed by a mental health professional based on a review of symptoms, developmental history, and observations
