- ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
- ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that impairs impulse control, hyperactivity management, and concentration. The following are some essential points about ADHD:
- Attention Issues: ADHD can hinder academic achievement, work productivity, and daily functioning by making it difficult to focus on specific activities, which is necessary for efficient task completion.
- Impulsivity: ADHD is characterized by impulsivity, which can lead to risky activities and decisions. This can have negative consequences for relationships, social interactions, and overall self-control.
- Hyperactivity: ADHD can make it difficult for individuals to be calm and engaged in peaceful activities for extended periods of time owing to excessive activity and restlessness. Hyperactivity can hinder academic or professional performance by disrupting tasks that need sustained focus and concentration.
