What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder commonly diagnosed in children but can persist into adulthood. It is characterized by symptoms such as inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Although everyone may occasionally exhibit these behaviors, individuals with ADHD experience them more frequently and severely, impacting their daily functioning.
Symptoms of ADHD
- Difficulty staying focused
- Trouble following through on tasks
- Excessive talking and fidgeting
- Impulsive decision-making
- Difficulty organizing tasks or managing time
The causes of ADHD are not fully understood, but research suggests a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. The condition is more than just being easily distracted; it is a persistent issue affecting all aspects of life, from academic performance to personal relationships.

ADHD can be challenging for both individuals and their families. Children with ADHD often struggle in school, facing academic underperformance due to difficulty focusing or following instructions. Adults may experience job-related issues, poor time management, or difficulty maintaining relationships. The effects of untreated ADHD can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, further complicating the condition.
