Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that makes it harder for people to focus, sit still, or control their impulses. It’s not about being lazy or misbehaving—it’s about how the brain works. For example, someone with ADHD might have trouble finishing tasks, get easily distracted, or feel restless. With the right strategies and support, people with ADHD can thrive. In short, it’s a challenge with attention and energy that can be managed with understanding and tools.
