Childhood ADHD

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children, usually before they reach puberty. It is characterized by poor attention span, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can interfere with learning and socialization. ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood, with estimates of prevalence around 10%. Early diagnosis and treatment are important, as the disorder can have long-term academic, social, and mental health implications if untreated. Treatment of childhood ADHD may include medication, psychological therapies, and behavioral interventions.
