Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. It goes beyond occasional distraction, often disrupting productivity, organization, and emotional regulation in work, school, and relationships.
Emotional & Cognitive: Deep sadness, hopelessness, guilt, slowed thinking, indecisiveness, and loss of motivation.
Physical & Behavioral: Sleep changes (too much or too little), appetite changes, fatigue, withdrawal, and reduced activity levels.
Treatment
Treatment includes structured assessment, medication when appropriate, behavioral strategies, and executive-function coaching to improve daily performance and reduce mental overload.
