ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. It’s not just about being “distracted” — it’s a difference in how the brain processes information, prioritizes tasks, and regulates attention. People with ADHD can experience challenges in daily life, but also unique strengths such as creativity, quick thinking, and problem-solving.

Yes. While ADHD often starts in childhood, it can continue into adulthood — sometimes without being diagnosed until later in life. Adult ADHD symptoms might look different from childhood signs, often showing up as difficulty managing time, forgetfulness, restlessness, or trouble focusing in work and relationships.

ADHD symptoms are generally grouped into three categories: inattentive (trouble focusing, forgetfulness), hyperactive (restlessness, constant movement), and impulsive (acting without thinking). Some people have one dominant type, while others have a combination.

There’s no single cause. Research suggests it’s linked to genetics, brain chemistry, and differences in brain structure. Environmental factors, like premature birth or early exposure to toxins, can also play a role — but ADHD is not caused by bad parenting or a lack of discipline.

Diagnosis usually involves a detailed evaluation by a trained professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. They’ll look at your symptoms, medical history, and how ADHD traits affect daily life. There’s no single test — it’s based on patterns of behaviour over time.

Not necessarily. Increased awareness has led to more people seeking help, which can make it seem more common. However, many people — especially women and adults — still go undiagnosed because their symptoms don’t fit the “classic” hyperactive stereotype.

Treatment often combines approaches: medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and practical tools like planners or reminder apps. The goal isn’t to “cure” ADHD, but to manage symptoms in a way that supports your goals, strengths, and well-being.

ADHD isn’t something you “grow out of,” but symptoms can change over time. Some people learn coping strategies that make their ADHD less disruptive, while others find symptoms remain challenging throughout life.

In many countries, ADHD can be recognized as a disability if it significantly affects daily functioning. This can allow access to workplace or school accommodations, support services, and legal protections.
