ADHD

Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can make it difficult for individuals to concentrate, pay attention, and sit still. This condition can also impact work performance, making it hard to stay organized and form meaningful connections with others. In contrast, attention deficit disorder (ADD) refers to the same condition without hyperactivity and can cause poor focus and forgetfulness.
