A brain disorder called ADHD, also known as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is characterized by a persistent pattern of impulsivity and/or hyperactivity that impairs functioning.
Inattentionmeans that the person loses track of what they are doing, is unorganized, struggles to stay focused, and lacks persistence. These issues are not brought on by resentment or a lack of understanding.
Hyperactivityadults, it may be extreme restlessness or wearing others out with their activity. means a person seems to move about constantly, including situations in which it is inappropriate when it is inappropriate, excessively fidgets, taps, or talks.
ImpulsivityAn impulsive person may be socially intrusive, frequently interrupt others, make significant decisions without thinking through the long-term effects, or act in a way that has a high potential for harm. Impulsivity can also refer to a desire for immediate gratification or an inability to delay gratification.
The main symptoms of ADHD are inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity; some people only struggle with one of these symptoms, while others struggle with both. Most children with ADHD have the combined type, which includes both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Hyperactivity is the most prevalent sign of ADHD in preschoolers.
While some inattention, impulsivity, and unfocused motor activity are common, these behaviors are more pronounced in people with ADHD and interfere with or degrade their performance in social situations, academic settings, or at work.

For a person to be diagnosed with ADHD, the symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity must be chronic or long-lasting, impair functioning, and cause the person to lag behind normal development for his or her age. A comprehensive evaluation by a licensed clinician, such as a pediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist with expertise in ADHD, is required.
Adults with undiagnosed ADHD may have a history of poor academic performance, problems at work, or difficult or failed relationships. Symptoms of ADHD can be mistaken for emotional or disciplinary problems or missed entirely in quiet, well-behaved children, leading to a delay in diagnosis. ADHD symptoms can start as early as between the ages of 3 and 6, and can continue through adolescence and adulthood.
As a person ages, their ADHD symptoms can change over time. In young children with ADHD, hyperactivity-impulsivity is the most prominent symptom. As a child enters elementary school, the symptom of inattention may become more prominent and cause the child to struggle academically. In adolescence, hyperactivity seems to lessen and may show more often as feelings of restlessness or fidgeting. However, inattention and impulsivity may still be present. Many adolescents with ADHD also struggle with academics
