ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

ADHD symptoms vary with age and may include:

• Children: Constant fidgeting, restlessness, difficulty sitting still, excessive talking.
• School-aged: Inattention, trouble completing homework, forgetfulness, or distractibility.
• Adults: Disorganization, poor time management, impulsive decisions, and work-life challenges.

Diagnosis and management should be performed by a qualified professional such as a child psychologist, psychiatrist, or neurologist. While there is no cure, ADHD can be effectively managed through:

• Behavioral therapy: Parent/teacher training, behavior modification, and habit structuring.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Improves focus, emotional regulation, and task planning.
• Medication management: Prescribed and monitored by a psychiatrist for symptom control.
• Supportive care: Educational accommodations, counseling, and regular follow-ups.
