Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodivergent condition characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with daily functioning and development. Co-occurring problems are usual with ADHD.

Adults and Children with ADHD often struggle with maintaining focus, exhibit hyperactive or restless behaviours, and act on impulse. These symptoms of ADHD typically occur in two or more settings, such as in work, school, or social interactions. ADHD symptoms emerge in childhood and can continue into adolescence and adulthood, potentially affecting the child’s health and wellbeing.

There are three types of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and combined. Inattentive-type ADHD involves frequent daydreaming, losing things, and being easily distracted.
