ADHD is a chronic illness that affects millions of youngsters and typically persists into adulthood. ADHD is characterised by a number of chronic issues, including trouble maintaining focus, hyperactivity, and impulsive conduct.
Children with ADHD may also experience low self-esteem, strained relationships, and poor academic achievement. Symptoms may reduce as you become older. Some people, however, never fully recover from their ADHD symptoms. They can, however, develop successful tactics.
While medication will not cure ADHD, it can significantly reduce symptoms. Medications and behavioural approaches are commonly used in treatment. Early detection and treatment can have a significant impact on the result.
Males are more likely than females to have ADHD, and boy and girl behaviours can differ. Boys, for example, may be more hyperactive, while girls may be more inattentive.
There are three subtypes of ADHD:
- Predominantly inattentive. The majority of symptoms fall under inattention.
- Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive. The majority of symptoms are hyperactive and impulsive.
- Combined. This is a mix of inattentive symptoms and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms.
