What Is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, activity levels, impulse control and emotional regulation.
Symptoms vary from person to person and may affect education, employment, relationships, self-esteem and day-to-day functioning.
ADHD is typically categorised into three presentations:
Predominantly Inattentive Presentation
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation
Combined Presentation
Many individuals experience symptoms from both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive domains.
