Pediatric ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting children’s ability to focus, control impulses, and stay organized. It involves differences in brain activity that can make sitting still, paying attention, and completing tasks more challenging. Symptoms often include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can impact school performance and social interactions. ADHD is often diagnosed through behavioral assessments and history, and it can be managed with a combination of behavioral strategies, education support, and sometimes medication, helping children improve their functioning and quality of life.
