Living with ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by challenges with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While genetics significantly influence the development of ADHD, factors such as birth complications and environmental influences might also play a role.
Historically viewed primarily as a childhood disorder, ADHD is now recognized to affect many adults and adolescents, though it often remains undiagnosed. This means countless individuals continue to navigate life without the support and strategies they need to thrive.
Symptoms of ADHD in Children and Adults
The symptoms of ADHD can look different in children and adults. A child with ADHD may exhibit the following behaviors:
