What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by ongoing patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily life, learning, and relationships.
The Three Types of ADHD
Predominantly Inattentive: Difficulty focusing, staying organized, and following through on tasks.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive: Excessive movement, restlessness, and impulsive decision-making.
Combined: A mix of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.
Understanding the different types of ADHD can help in identifying symptoms early and seeking effective treatment or support.
Symptoms of ADHD
- Difficulty concentrating: Trouble staying focused, being easily distracted, or losing track of details.
- Restlessness and impulsive behavior: Fidgeting, difficulty sitting still, interrupting others, or making quick decisions without thinking.
- Trouble prioritizing tasks: Struggling with time management, organization, or completing responsibilities in order of importance.
