Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a common childhood behavioural disorder that affects a child's ability to focus, organise, and finish a task. They frequently act impulsively and are easily distracted. Though this type of behaviour is common in children, what distinguishes ADHD from normal children is the persistence of symptoms, which has an impact on the child's academic and social life. Inattention (lack of focus), hyperactivity (restlessness), and impulsiveness are the primary symptoms of ADHD. The severity of symptoms varies from child to child, but ADHD is classified as Predominately Inattentive, Predominately Hyperactive, or Combined based on the dominant indications.
