ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
A brain illness known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects how you pay attention, sit still, and control your behaviour. It affects children and teenagers, and it can last throughout adulthood.
In youngsters, ADHD is the most usually diagnosed mental condition. It is more common in boys than in girls. It’s commonly noticed in a child’s early school years when he or she begins to have focus issues.
ADHD is not curable or preventable. However, early detection of ADHD, as well as a good treatment and education plan, can help a kid or adult with ADHD manage their symptoms.

Symptoms are grouped into three types:
