What is ADHD? 🧠

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person focuses, manages their energy, and controls impulses. It's not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis – ADHD looks different in every individual. ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, diet, or laziness. It’s a recognised condition that affects both children and adults.
