Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation that are excessive and pervasive, impairing in multiple contexts, and developmentally inappropriate. According to the World Health Organization, ADHD is a specific developmental disorder that affects both children and adults, causing significant impairments in daily life. ADHD is associated with other mental disorders, such as anxiety disorder and depression. The exact causes of ADHD are still not fully understood. Environmental factors, such as prenatal exposure to toxins and brain injury, may also play a role in the development of ADHD.
