ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a consistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity that interferes with functioning or development. ADHD manifests in various behaviors, including difficulty maintaining attention, excessive activity, and impulsiveness not appropriate for an individual's age. Symptoms often arise in early childhood, and ADHD can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough assessment by healthcare professionals, considering specific criteria outlined in diagnostic manuals such as the DSM-5. While the exact cause of ADHD remains unclear, it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. ADHD often coexists with other conditions like anxiety disorders and learning disabilities.
