Overview
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation that are excessive and pervasive, impairing in multiple contexts, and developmentally inappropriate. The exact causes of ADHD are still not fully understood, but research suggests that it is related to genetic factors, brain structure, and environmental factors. ADHD symptoms arise from executive dysfunction, leading to impairments in self-regulation, such as time management, cognitive inhibition, task initiation, and sustained attention.
