Understanding ADHD
ADHD affects millions of people across all age groups. It's characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that go beyond what's typical for a person's developmental stage.
For children, ADHD may show up as difficulty in school or trouble following rules. For adults, it often manifests as chronic disorganization, trouble meeting deadlines, or relationship challenges. Many people don't realize they have ADHD until adulthood.
ADHD is highly treatable. With proper support — which may include therapy, coaching, and sometimes medication — people with ADHD can develop systems and strategies that help them thrive.
