ATTENTION-DEFICIT/ HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning and development. While many people associate ADHD with children, it can continue into adulthood, affecting various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and overall well-being. The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, but research suggests that a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors may contribute. Some potential causes and risk factors include:

Family history of ADHD or other mental health disorders
Brain structure and function differences
Prenatal exposure to toxins, alcohol, or smoking
Early exposure to environmental stressors or trauma

Common Symptoms of ADHD:
