ADHD and other Attention Disorders

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and similar attention disorders affect an individual's ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate activity levels. ADHD is characterized by symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness, which can impact daily functioning and relationships. Other attention disorders may present with different symptoms or severities but often share challenges in maintaining attention. These conditions are thought to arise from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Diagnosis typically involves evaluations by healthcare professionals, and management may include behavioral therapies, medication, or lifestyle adjustments to help improve focus and organization.
