ADHD Q&A

ttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder in children, characterized by difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. This condition can affect a child’s ability to thrive and may contribute to mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety. While ADHD is more prevalent in children, it can also impact adults. With effective treatment, however, managing ADHD can significantly improve quality of life.

 

ADHD symptoms can vary, and they fall into two main categories: inattentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsivity, or a combination of both.

  • Inattentive Type ADHD:

    • Children may have trouble focusing in school, become easily distracted, make careless mistakes, be disorganized, lose items, and forget tasks.
    • In adults, symptoms often manifest as missed deadlines, careless errors at work, and forgetting to handle important responsibilities at home.

  • Hyperactive/Impulsive ADHD:

    • Children may exhibit excessive restlessness, fidgeting, and unsafe behaviors like climbing and running inappropriately. They might interrupt others and talk excessively.
    • In adults, hyperactivity is less common, but impulsivity can lead to impatience, mood swings, and risky behaviors, such as speeding while driving.

  • Combined ADHD:

    • This type features symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
