What is ADD/ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that begins in childhood and may continue into adulthood. ADHD now includes ADD, and is usually characterized in three “subtypes” or presentations. ADHD can be “predominantly inattentive” (what used to be called ADD), “predominantly hyperactive-impulsive”, or “combined”. People with ADHD may experience issues with inattention, difficulty maintaining focus, the need to switch tasks frequently, impulsiveness, or restlessness.
