ADHD
What is ADHD?
People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD have problems with their behavior. In addition to being restless, ADHD can lead to problems concentrating, acting on impulse, and having difficulty concentrating. The symptoms of ADHD typically appear at an early age and may become more evident once a child starts school. ADHD doesn’t have to affect your relationships and your day-to-day life.
