ADHD

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a complex

neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults.
While its exact cause is still not fully understood, it is believed to be

influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and
neurobiological factors. The symptoms, which include inattention,

hyperactivity, and impulsivity, can significantly impact academic
performance, work productivity, and personal relationships.

However, with proper diagnosis and treatment ranging from medication and behavioral therapy

to lifestyle adjustments individuals with ADHD can manage their symptoms effectively and lead

fulfilling lives. Early intervention, understanding, and support from family, friends, and
educators play a crucial role in helping those with ADHD thrive.

Increasing awareness and reducing stigma are

essential to ensure that people with ADHD receive the

support they need. By fostering an environment of
acceptance and understanding, society can help

individuals with ADHD reach their full potential
