ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity level. ADHD means the brain regulates focus and self-control differently, which can make it hard to sustain attention, sit still, or hold back impulses, interfering with daily life. It begins in childhood and often continues into adulthood.
ADD and ADHD describe the same condition. ADD, or attention-deficit disorder, is an older term that doctors no longer use. The current term is ADHD, and it encompasses presentations with and without hyperactivity. When someone says ADD, they usually mean ADHD without prominent hyperactivity.
ADHD symptoms fall into two groups. Many people have symptoms from both.
Inattentive symptoms:
Hyperactive and impulsive symptoms:
ADHD has three presentations, based on which symptoms dominate:
ADHD is largely genetic. It runs in families, and research links it to differences in brain development and in the signaling chemicals that regulate attention and reward. Other factors can raise risk, including premature birth, low birth weight, and prenatal exposure to alcohol or tobacco. ADHD is not caused by parenting style, sugar, or screen time.
ADHD is diagnosed through a clinical evaluation, not a single test. A clinician gathers a detailed history, uses standardized rating scales, and confirms that symptoms have been present over time, appear in more than one setting (e.g., home, work, or school), and interfere with daily functioning. For children, input from parents and teachers is part of the process. For adults, the evaluation looks at current symptoms and evidence that signs were present earlier in life.
In adults, hyperactivity often fades into inner restlessness, while attention and organization problems persist. Common signs in adults include:
Many adults are diagnosed only after a child in the family is evaluated, or after years of difficulty they could not explain.
ADHD is highly manageable. Treatment usually combines medication, such as stimulants or non-stimulants, with behavioral strategies, therapy, and structure that support focus and organization. The right plan depends on age, symptoms, and other health conditions, and it is set with a qualified clinician.
