Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects children’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate their energy levels. While ADHD can present challenges, early diagnosis and proper support can help children thrive.
Signs and Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD symptoms typically appear before the age of 12 and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. The condition is generally categorized into three types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentation. Common symptoms include:
- Inattention: Difficulty maintaining focus, frequently losing things, being easily distracted, and struggling with organization.
- Hyperactivity: Constant fidgeting, inability to stay seated, excessive talking, and difficulty engaging in quiet activities.
- Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting conversations, difficulty waiting for their turn, and making hasty decisions.
Each child with ADHD experiences these symptoms differently, which is why individualized support is essential.
