Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person’s ability to focus, manage impulses, and regulate energy levels. While everyone experiences distraction or restlessness at times, individuals with ADHD often face these challenges more intensely and consistently, impacting school, work, relationships, and daily routines.

ADHD can look different from person to person. Some people struggle primarily with attention—losing track of details, feeling mentally “scattered,” or having difficulty starting or completing tasks. Others experience more hyperactive or impulsive symptoms, such as restlessness, talking quickly, or acting before thinking. Many people have a combination of both.

ADHD is not a sign of laziness or lack of effort. It often comes with unique strengths, including creativity, high energy, problem-solving skills, and out-of-the-box thinking. With understanding, practical tools, and supportive counseling, individuals with ADHD can learn strategies to manage challenges and build on their strengths.
