Condition guide

ADHD

A condition of attention regulation, impulsivity, and executive-function strain, not laziness or lack of effort.

In simple language

ADHD affects how the brain manages attention, task switching, planning, motivation, and impulse control. Some people mainly struggle with distractibility and disorganization, while others feel restless, impulsive, or both.

It can affect school, work, relationships, sleep, self-esteem, finances, and the ability to carry out health routines consistently.
