What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

It is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children, adolescents, and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, and academic or work performance. ADHD is not a result of laziness or poor discipline—it’s a medical condition that requires understanding and tailored treatment.

What are the common Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

It is characterized by a variety of symptoms, which are typically grouped into three main categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Each category encompasses distinct behaviors that may vary in intensity and frequency among individuals. Below is a more detailed explanation of these symptoms:

  • Inattention: People with ADHD often experience significant difficulty maintaining focus on tasks or activities. They may struggle to follow through with instructions, frequently forget appointments, or misplace items necessary for daily activities. This can lead to unfinished work, poor organization skills, and challenges in prioritizing responsibilities. Individuals may also find themselves easily distracted by external stimuli or unrelated thoughts.
  • Hyperactivity: Hyperactivity is another hallmark of ADHD, manifesting as an inability to remain still or calm for extended periods. This might include constant fidgeting, tapping, or an overwhelming urge to move around, even in situations where such behavior is inappropriate. Adults may feel a constant internal sense of restlessness, while children might run or climb excessively in environments where it’s not suitable. Hyperactive individuals often seem to possess excessive energy, which can interfere with daily routines.
  • Impulsivity: Impulsivity in ADHD can result in actions that occur without consideration of consequences. This might include blurting out answers in conversations, interrupting others while they are speaking, or making hasty decisions that could lead to negative outcomes. Waiting for one’s turn, whether in a game or during discussions, can be particularly challenging. These behaviors often cause difficulties in social settings and may result in strained relationships or misunderstandings.

Each individual with ADHD may exhibit these symptoms differently, and their impact can range from mild to severe, influencing academic, professional, and social aspects of life. Proper evaluation and management are key to addressing the challenges associated with ADHD.

What are the types of ADHD?

  • Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Difficulty sustaining attention but not overly active.
  • Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: Excessive activity and impulsiveness.
  • Combined Presentation: A mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.
