Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Pediatrics - MSD Manual Professional Edition

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. 🏃‍♂️ Common symptoms include difficulty concentrating, frequent distractions, forgetfulness, and trouble completing tasks. 🙇 Conversely, individuals with ADHD may also experience “hyperfocus,” an intense focus on a particular activity while neglecting others. 🔍 These symptoms can interfere with daily life, work, and relationships if not properly managed.

These are two types of ADHD (Inattentive ADHD and Hyperactive/Impulsive ADHD). Now what if I told you the most common type of ADHD is a COMBINATION of both of these types (combined type). Can you see how difficult it is for a student with combined ADHD in the classroom? #adhd #inattentiveadhd #hyperactiveimpulsiveadhd #combinedadhd #adhdawareness | mrgteacher
