Attention Deficit Disorders
Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental conditions that affect focus, self-control, and organization. Individuals with these disorders may struggle to pay attention, follow instructions, or complete tasks. Symptoms can vary widely, and they often appear in childhood but can continue into adulthood.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, considering behavioral patterns and developmental history. Treatment options may include behavioral therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes, aimed at improving attention and managing symptoms. Early intervention can significantly enhance daily functioning and quality of life for those affected.
