What is ADHD/ADD? 

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning or development. While ADHD is commonly associated with children, it can also persist into adulthood, impacting professional and personal life.

Inattention may manifest as difficulty focusing, staying organized, or completing tasks, while hyperactivity and impulsivity may lead to restlessness, difficulty remaining seated, or interrupting conversations.

Symptoms of ADHD/ADD

  • Difficulty sustaining attention in task
  • Frequent forgetfulness
  • Struggling with organization
  • Impulsivity (acting without thinking)
  • Fidgeting or trouble sitting still
  • Trouble following through on instructions
  • Easily distracted by external stimuli

ADHD symptoms can look different depending on age. In children, signs often include difficulty paying attention, trouble following directions, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviors. Adults may experience restlessness, poor time management, forgetfulness, and challenges staying organized. At Animo Sano Psychiatry, we help identify whether these challenges may be related to ADHD or other conditions, and provide guidance toward the right care.
