ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development.
Common symptoms include difficulty staying focused, frequent forgetfulness, excessive talking, fidgeting, interrupting others, and trouble organizing tasks or activities.
ADHD can be managed through behavior therapy, medication, educational support, and lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis and intervention can help improve quality of life.
