What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and executive functioning skills like organization and time management. It is categorized into three types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. Symptoms can impact work, school, and relationships, but structured treatment helps individuals build effective coping strategies.
Signs and Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD symptoms include inattention such as difficulty focusing, disorganization, forgetfulness, and trouble completing tasks, as well as hyperactivity and impulsivity such as restlessness, excessive talking, interrupting others, and acting without thinking. Many individuals also experience co-occurring anxiety.

Causes and Risk Factors
ADHD develops due to neurological, genetic, and environmental factors. Differences in brain development and neurotransmitter activity, family history, and environmental influences like stress or early adversity all contribute to symptom development.
Effects of Untreated ADHD
Without treatment, ADHD can lead to difficulty meeting expectations at work or school, poor time management, strained relationships, low self-esteem, frustration, and increased risk of substance use.
