Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects both children and adults.
It is more than difficulty focusing; it can also show up as impulsivity, restlessness, or trouble with organization and follow-through.

What you can do:

-Learn the signs and talk with a healthcare provider if you have concerns about yourself or your child
-Use trusted sources like your doctor for accurate information
-Support the people in your life with patience and understanding

Support and treatment, including behavioral therapy and medication, can make a big difference.
