Overview
Understanding ADHD
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, organization, activity level and impulse control. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood.
Adult ADHD can look different from childhood ADHD. Symptoms may overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep problems or stress, which is why a thorough evaluation matters.
