Скачать или смотреть What Is ADHD? Understanding Symptoms and Diagnosis

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It often appears in childhood but can continue into adulthood, impacting learning, relationships, and daily functioning.



Symptoms fall into two main groups: inattention (difficulty focusing, distractibility, forgetfulness, trouble organizing) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (restlessness, excessive talking, interrupting, acting without thinking). Many people experience a combination of both.



Causes include genetics, differences in brain structure and function, and environmental factors such as prenatal exposures or early trauma. Diagnosis is made by a qualified professional through medical history, behavioral assessments, and symptom checks across multiple settings.



Early recognition and support—behavioral strategies, therapy, and sometimes medication—can greatly improve quality of life and daily functioning.
