Many individuals experience challenges with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity regardless of age. It's common for people to struggle with maintaining focus, controlling impulses, or sitting still. These difficulties can manifest differently in various stages of life, affecting not just children but also adolescents and adults.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by difficulties in inhibiting spontaneous responses, which can include movements, speech, or impulsive actions. While some individuals with ADHD may exhibit constant motion and disruptiveness, others may appear quiet but struggle with internal restlessness or distraction.

ADHD encompasses three main traits: inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, though not all three may be equally pronounced in every individual.

People with ADHD may:

• Have difficulty sustaining attention or become easily distracted
• Seem inattentive when spoken to
• Exhibit restlessness or fidgeting behaviors
• Engage in excessive talking
• Act impulsively without considering consequences
• Interrupt conversations frequently or make inappropriate remarks

These challenges, whether experienced by children, adolescents, or adults, can lead to difficulties in social interactions, academic or professional settings, and personal relationships. Untreated symptoms may contribute to feelings of low self-esteem and strain within families.

Effective treatment can significantly improve symptoms and enhance overall well-being. With appropriate support, individuals with ADHD can learn strategies to manage their challenges and thrive in various aspects of life.
