ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning.

Inattention: Difficulty focusing, easily distracted, forgetful, losing things, daydreaming excessively.

Hyperactivity: Fidgeting, restlessness, excessive talking, difficulty sitting still, running or climbing in inappropriate situations.

Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, blurting out answers, difficulty taking turns, taking unnecessary risks.

Symptoms vary in severity and presentation across individuals. ADHD can significantly impact academic performance, relationships, and emotional well-being. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
