Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (adhd)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with daily functioning. It impacts behavior, academic success, and relationships in both adults and children. ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting approximately 5% of the population worldwide. Treatment typically includes both medication and psychotherapy, although lifestyle modifications such as diet, exercise, and mindfulness have been found to be effective strategies for managing symptoms. Early recognition, diagnosis, and intervention are important for maximising outcomes.
