Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It involves symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity which can impact daily functioning in various settings such as home, school and work.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be diagnosed at any age, but it is often identified in childhood, typically between the ages of 6 and 12. Symptoms, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, must be present for at least six months and must be inconsistent with the individual’s developmental level. While it’s more common to diagnose ADHD in childhood, it can also be identified in adolescents and adults if symptoms have been persistent since childhood.

- Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play

- Seeming not to listen when spoken to directly

- Frequently losing items necessary for tasks (e.g., pencils, books, tools)
