ADHD (Children & Adults)

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of people across all ages, impacting their ability to focus, control impulses, and manage daily responsibilities. While it's often identified in childhood, many adults discover they have ADHD later in life when they struggle with work demands, relationships, or organizational challenges. Understanding that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition—not a character flaw—is the first step toward effective treatment.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD manifests differently in each person. Some experience primarily inattention—difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and becoming easily distracted. Others struggle with hyperactivity and impulsivity—restlessness, interrupting others, and difficulty waiting their turn. Many people experience a combination of both. In children, ADHD might show up as trouble finishing homework, fidgeting in class, or difficulty following multi-step instructions. Adults often report chronic disorganization, missed deadlines, relationship difficulties, and feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks.

The causes of ADHD are complex and include genetic factors, brain chemistry differences, and environmental influences. What's important to know is that ADHD is highly treatable. With the right combination of medication, behavioral strategies, and support, people with ADHD can thrive in all areas of life.
