What Is ADHD | Events Doctor

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. The exact causes of ADHD are still not fully understood, but research suggests that it is related to differences in brain structure and function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. ADHD is often comorbid with other mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorder and depression.
