Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition characterized by patterns of behavior that can impact a child's social, academic, and personal development. This condition is frequently identified during the school-age years and can continue to influence functioning throughout adolescence and into adulthood.

Modern clinical practice utilizes this term to describe specific neurological pathways associated with focus and self-regulation, replacing older labels such as hyperkinetic disorder. The presentation of these behaviors often varies between individuals, typically involving persistent challenges with maintaining attention or managing physical activity and impulsive responses.
