Condition

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning in multiple contexts, such as home, school, work, and other social situations.

Treatment for ADHD can reduce symptoms and improve functioning. The most common treatments for ADHD are medication (usually stimulant medications) and psychotherapy, like behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy.
