Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a developmental condition that affects a person’s ability to concentrate, regulate activity levels, and control their behavior. It usually begins in childhood and can influence learning, relationships, and daily responsibilities. People with ADHD may show several noticeable patterns of behavior.
