What Is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It impacts how individuals pay attention, control impulses, and regulate their energy levels. While everyone experiences moments of distraction or restlessness, people with ADHD face these challenges more frequently and intensely, often interfering with their daily life, relationships, work, or school.

ADHD is not a sign of laziness or lack of intelligence. In fact, many individuals with ADHD are highly creative, energetic, and driven, especially when supported with appropriate tools and strategies.
