@drjaleelmohammed: ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Inattention: Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty sustaining attention on tasks, making careless mistakes, organising tasks and activities, avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort, losing things necessary for tasks, and being easily distracted by extraneous stimuli. Hyperactivity: Hyperactivity is often characterised by excessive fidgeting, restlessness, and difficulty staying seated in situations where it's expected, such as classrooms or during meetings. Children may often run or climb excessively, even in inappropriate situations. In adults, hyperactivity may manifest as feelings of inner restlessness or a need to stay constantly busy. Impulsivity: Impulsivity involves acting without thinking through the consequences. This can include blurting out answers, interrupting others, difficulty waiting for one's turn, making decisions impulsively without considering long-term outcomes, and engaging in risky behaviors without considering the potential consequences. #adhd #add #MentalHealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist
