Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder commonly diagnosed in children, though it can persist into adulthood. Individuals with ADHD may experience difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which can affect their daily functioning and relationships. Symptoms can vary widely, and not everyone with ADHD will exhibit all characteristics.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, considering behavioral assessments and input from parents and teachers. Treatment options may include behavioral therapy, medication, or a combination of both, aimed at helping individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
