What is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. It affects children, and adolescents, and can continue into adulthood. Unlike the common variations in attention and energy everyone experiences, ADHD symptoms are more severe, persistent, and impair various aspects of life.
The condition stems from genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors. It can impact academic achievement, occupational success, and interpersonal relationships. Recognizing ADHD as a legitimate medical condition necessitates professional treatment, not simply personal effort or discipline.
Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD symptoms vary widely among individuals and are categorized into two types: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
Inattention Symptoms:
- Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play
- Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
- Difficulty organizing tasks and activities
- Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli
- Forgetful in daily activities
Hyperactivity-Impulsivity Symptoms:
- Fidgeting with hands or feet, squirming in the seat
- Running about or climbing in inappropriate situations
- Difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly
- Often “on the go” or acts as if “driven by a motor”
- Interrupts or intrudes on others (e.g., butts into conversations)
