Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), previously known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that frequently impacts children and adolescents and can persist into adulthood. While the exact cause of ADHD remains unknown, researchers suggest that multiple factors contribute to its development. These factors include heredity, brain alterations, chemical imbalances, exposure to toxins like lead, brain injuries, and inadequate nutrition or substance abuse during pregnancy.
The symptoms of ADHD can vary but commonly include difficulties with sustained attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Individuals with ADHD may struggle to focus on tasks, follow instructions, organize activities, or complete assignments. They may exhibit restlessness, excessive talking, fidgeting, and impulsive behavior. It is essential to seek professional evaluation and diagnosis to determine the presence of ADHD and explore appropriate interventions and support.
