ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
Referred to as a behaviour disorder, ADHD can make everyday life difficult, especially for those at school. Key symptoms include hyperactivity, inattentiveness and impulsiveness. These tend to be noticed at an early age, often becoming more noticeable when a child’s circumstances change (for example if there is a change in school).
The symptoms usually improve with age, however, some adults continue to struggle. Sometimes the diagnosis isn’t made and therefore learning to manage it can be difficult.
