What is ADHD?

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. It typically begins in childhood, though many individuals continue to experience symptoms into adulthood, often with a shift in how symptoms present. The condition affects a person's ability to focus, organize tasks, and regulate impulses, which can impact academic, occupational, and social functioning if unaddressed. With appropriate diagnosis and management, individuals with ADHD can lead highly successful and productive lives.

Treatment & Types of ADHD in Smaspur, Gurugram, Haryana

Stimulant medications are the most effective and commonly used treatment to improve focus and reduce impulsivity, with non-stimulant medications available as alternatives when needed. Behavioral therapy, organizational skills training, and educational accommodations complement medication treatment, particularly in children, to support academic and social functioning.

ADHD is classified into three presentations recognized in clinical practice: predominantly inattentive presentation (difficulty focusing and organizing without much hyperactivity), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation (restlessness and impulsive behavior with fewer attention difficulties), and combined presentation, where both sets of symptoms are prominent — the most commonly diagnosed form.
