Understanding ADHD: A Path to Focus and Balance
More than 7 million children and 15.5 million adults in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD(CDC)
What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. Symptoms vary, but common signs include:
- Inattention:Difficulty focusing on tasks, staying organized, or following through on responsibilities.
- Hyperactivity:A need to move constantly, often in inappropriate situations.
- Impulsivity:Acting without considering consequences or interrupting others during conversations.
For children, ADHD can disrupt academic performance and social interactions. Adults often experience difficulties in the workplace and relationships due to unaddressed symptoms.
More than 45% of Americans with clinical-level mental health disorders don't seek professional help(Forbes)
Almost half the population of the United States deals silently with their mental health disorder without engaging a medical professional, which is not good in the long term as their lack of attention can further escalate their problems.
