Hi everyone, today we’re diving into an important topic: ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Whether you’re learning about it for the first time or want to deepen your understanding, this lecture is for you.

8.4 percent of children and 2.5 percent of adults experience attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD.

understanding the symptoms might be harder in adults than in children as most ADHD symptoms are behaviors that everyone struggles with once in a while

like forgetting to pay the bills, spacing out during a conversation or missing school or work deadlines

however in ADHD these are more constant and disruptive inattention impulsivity and sometimes hyperactivity are key symptoms these symptoms usually occur together

there are three major types of ADHD:

ADHD, combined. This is the most common type. A child with this type is impulsive and hyperactive.

ADHD, impulsive/hyperactive. This is the least common type of ADHD.

and ADHD, inattentive and distractable. A child with this type is mostly inattentive and easily distracted.

Managing ADHD often involves a mix of strategies: breaking tasks into smaller steps, using tools like planners or timers, and creating a structured environment.

Remember, ADHD is just one part of a person’s story. With the right support and strategies, individuals with ADHD can thrive. Let’s continue this conversation in our next session!
