ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a manageable neurodevelopmental condition which can affect several many aspects of your everyday life such as your attention span, emotional regulation, organisation skills and daily functioning. ADHD can impact both children and adults and may influence academic performance, work productivity, relationships and self-esteem. ADHD can be categorized into 3 types: Predominantly Inattentive Type, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type and Combined Type — all of which are important to identify in order to receive appropriate support as early as possible such as medication, therapy and behavioural strategies (coaching, routines, support systems, etc).
The following are key characteristics of ADHD:
- Difficulty sustaining attention
- Impulsivity and acting without thinking
- Hyperactivity or restlessness
- Challenges with organisation and time management
