What Is ADHD?

As per Mayo Clinic, ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that begin in childhood and continue to cause impairment in daily life. Symptoms in adults can include disorganisation, poor time management, difficulty staying on task, restlessness, and impulsive behaviour.

While many people outgrow ADHD in childhood, a significant number of adults continue to experience symptoms, leading to challenges in various aspects of their lives. It's not a behavioural choice, the result of poor parenting, or a bad habit. ADHD is a neurological disorder that can be effectively managed with treatment, including medication, therapy and lifestyle adjustments.
