What is ADHD?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects focus, self-control, and activity levels. It’s often spotted in childhood but can continue into adulthood. Worldwide, ADHD affects millions, but many adults don’t realise they have it.
There are three types of ADHD:
INATTENTIVE
- Overlooking details
- Struggling to follow instructions
- Difficulty organising
- Forgetting things like keys or phones
HYPERACTIVE AND IMPULSIVE
- Feeling restless
- Fidgeting or trouble staying seated
- Talking a lot
- Acting without thinking, like interrupting others
COMBINED (BOTH INATTENTIVE AND HYPERACTIVE / IMPULSIVE)
