Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a
neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of
inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can significantly
impact daily functioning and development. Inattention manifests as difficulty
sustaining focus, following through on tasks, and organizing activities.
Hyperactivity involves excessive fidgeting, restlessness, and an inability to
stay still. Impulsivity includes hasty actions without forethought,
interrupting others, and difficulty waiting one's turn.
ADHD typically begins in childhood and can continue
into adulthood. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to involve
genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Diagnosis is based on a
comprehensive evaluation, often involving questionnaires, interviews, and
behavioural assessments. Treatment usually includes behavioural therapies,
educational support, and medications such as stimulants.
Living with ADHD can be challenging, but with
appropriate strategies and support, individuals with ADHD can lead successful
and fulfilling lives.
