Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. While ADHD can present differently in each individual, there are three common signs to look out for:

- Inattention: People with ADHD often struggle with paying attention and focusing on tasks, leading to forgetfulness, disorganization, and difficulty following through on responsibilities.
- Hyperactivity: Individuals with ADHD may feel restless, fidgety, and have trouble sitting still for long periods of time. They may also talk excessively and interrupt others.
- Impulsivity: Those with ADHD may act impulsively without considering the consequences, such as blurting out inappropriate comments or making rash decisions.
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these signs, it’s important to seek a professional evaluation from a mental health specialist. A proper diagnosis can lead to effective treatment options and support to manage ADHD symptoms and improve quality of life.
