ADHD: Meaning and Symptoms

Habits

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders. While it’s often associated with children, ADHD also affects adults, making focus and organization challenging at any age.

What Does ADHD Mean?

ADHD is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily life. These symptoms can vary significantly, with some individuals experiencing more inattention and others grappling with hyperactivity or a mix of both.

Common Symptoms of ADHD

  • Inattention: Difficulty sustaining focus, careless mistakes, disorganization, and frequently losing items.
  • Hyperactivity: Restlessness, excessive talking, and an inability to stay seated when expected.
  • Impulsivity: Interrupting others, making hasty decisions, or struggling to wait in lines.

Prevalence of ADHD

According to the CDC, approximately 9.4% of children and 4.4% of adults in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
