ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD starts in childhood but can continue into adolescence and adulthood. People with ADHD may have difficulty paying attention, which can interfere with everyday life or development.

Children and adults with ADHD can have a difficult time controlling their emotions. Learning how to cope is one way to gain control over the symptoms of ADHD.

Doctors and therapists can help design a plan to aid with organizing and focusing on everyday activities, which is usually difficult for those with ADHD. When someone feels like they are taking an active part in their life, confidence begins to grow.
