ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. ADHD symptoms typically begin in childhood and may persist into adulthood, although the presentation may change over time.
