Attention Deficit Disorder
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in maintaining attention, impulsivity, and sometimes hyperactivity. It affects both children and adults, leading to challenges in academic, professional, and social settings. Symptoms may include trouble focusing on tasks, forgetfulness, and difficulty organizing activities.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, often using standardized questionnaires and behavioral assessments. Treatment options may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, and, in some cases, medication. Understanding and support from family, teachers, and peers can significantly help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their daily functioning.
