Homonym: ADD (Addition)
Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in maintaining attention, focus, and organization. Individuals with ADD may struggle with tasks that require sustained mental effort, often leading to challenges in academic and work settings. Unlike ADHD, which includes hyperactivity, ADD primarily involves inattention.
Symptoms of ADD can include forgetfulness, distractibility, and difficulty following through on tasks. While the exact cause is not fully understood, genetics and environmental factors may play a role. Treatment options often include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, medication to help manage symptoms effectively.
