What ADHD is, what are the symptoms, and how to treat or prevent it in your life.

 ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Symptoms typically include:

Difficulty paying attention or staying focused

Impulsiveness, such as interrupting others or acting without thinking

Hyperactivity, such as excessive fidgeting or restlessness

Disorganization and forgetfulness

Treatment for ADHD typically involves a combination of medication and behavioral therapy. Medications such as stimulants, non-stimulants, and antidepressants can help manage symptoms, while behavioral therapy can help individuals develop coping skills and improve their organizational skills and relationships.

Prevention and self-help strategies for ADHD include:

Maintaining a regular routine and schedule

Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps

Practicing mindfulness and stress-management techniques

Staying physically active and eating a healthy diet

Limiting exposure to screens and other distractions

Seeking support from family and friends, or a mental health professional if needed.
