Attention-Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, self-regulation, and executive function. While often diagnosed in childhood, ADHD frequently continues into adulthood and may be underrecognized, especially in women and high-achieving individuals. Without proper support, ADHD can interfere with school, work, relationships, and mental health, but with the right care, individuals with ADHD can thrive.

Inattentive Symptoms:

• Difficulty focusing or following through

• Frequently losing items or forgetting tasks

• Struggling to stay organized

• Easily distracted by noise or interruptions

Hyperactive Symptoms:

• Restlessness or feeling “on the go”

• Interrupting others or speaking out of turn

• Difficulty waiting one’s turn

• Impulsive decisions or risk-taking behavior

Adults with ADHD may also experience low frustration tolerance, emotional dysregulation, and chronic procrastination.

ADHD is neurodevelopmental and may involve:

• Genetic and hereditary factors

• Dopamine and norepinephrine imbalances

• Prenatal factors or early brain development

• High-stress or overstimulating environments
