ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a medical condition that affects behavior and is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. ADHD is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood.

The symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. People with ADHD may have trouble concentrating, sitting still, and controlling their behavior. They may also seem restless and act on impulse.

ADHD is a brain disorder that affects how a person pays attention and controls their behavior. It is caused by differences in brain development and brain activity. There is no single test to diagnose ADHD, but doctors may use a combination of medical exams, interviews, and rating scales to make a diagnosis.

Treatment for ADHD may include medication, behavior therapy, parent coaching, and school support. Medications can help reduce symptoms of ADHD, while behavior therapy can help kids develop social, emotional, and planning skills that are lagging with ADHD. Parent coaching can help parents learn the best ways to respond to behavior problems that are part of ADHD, and teachers can help kids with ADHD do well and enjoy school more.
