What is ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and development, often impacting academic, occupational, or social activities. While commonly diagnosed in childhood, adhd can persist into adulthood, affecting executive functions and emotional regulation.
