What Is ADHD?

 

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting how the brain regulates attention, self-control, and executive functioning. It typically originates in childhood and frequently persists into adulthood, affecting approximately 5% of children and 2–3% of adults worldwide.

ADHD is a recognized medical condition—not a character flaw, laziness, or the result of poor parenting.

The 3 Types (Presentations) of ADHD

Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Characterized by easy distraction, disorganization, forgetfulness, and difficulty following instructions.

Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Marked by constant fidgeting, excessive talking, restlessness, and acting without thinking.

Combined Presentation: Features a mix of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive traits (the most common diagnosis).
