ADHD: How To Help Your Child Get Ahead In Life

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a mental disorder that affects children. While the symptoms disappear by adolescence for roughly half of those affected, some may experience it in their adulthood. The general symptoms of ADHD include hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention, which means that children with ADHD are often unable to control their impulses � and this may present challenges for them in school or at home.
