Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

📋Overview

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the established clinical term for a neurodevelopmental condition that often begins in childhood and may persist into adulthood. It encompasses behaviors previously identified under other labels and is recognized for its potential impact on cognitive and behavioral development.

This condition involves neurological pathways that affect how a person regulates focus, impulsivity, and physical activity levels. Clinical patterns are typically identified when they are persistent and significant enough to interfere with an individual's academic, social, or occupational functioning.
