Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
What is ADHD?
ADHD can be commonly misunderstood and it can be misdiagnosed as well.
ADHD is often mistaken for the inability to pay attention. A better description would be, wavering attentional abilities. This means that a person with ADHD often experience periods of hyperfocus, as well as periods of unfocused attention.
In general, ADHD has three categories of symptoms including: ​
-
Inattention, such as trouble paying attention, keeping on task, or staying organized
-
Hyperactivity, including moving around frequently or excessively, feeling restless, or talking excessively
-
Impulsivity, such as interrupting and intruding on others, or having trouble waiting
​
A person with ADHD may have all or only some of these symptoms. In order to be diagnosed with ADHD, it is best to obtain a diagnostic assessment by a qualified health professional.
