ADHD

What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. It presents in three forms: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type. While commonly diagnosed in childhood, many adults remain undiagnosed until later in life.
