Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulsivity, and activity levels. It is commonly diagnosed in childhood but can continue into adulthood. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, time management, and impulse control.

ADHD is not just about being “hyper”—it presents in different ways, including inattentive (difficulty focusing), hyperactive-impulsive (restlessness, impulsivity), or a combination of both. While ADHD can pose challenges in daily life, with the right strategies, support, and treatment, individuals can thrive personally and professionally.
