Attention-deficit/hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It is estimated to affect around 5% of children and often persists into adulthood. ADHD can have a major impact on a person's ability to function, socialise and fulfil their goals. Treatment typically involves medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. The aim is to improve focus and foster a positive environment to help manage symptoms.
