ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition that affects how people think, feel, and behave.
If you have ADHD, you might find yourself constantly fidgeting, feeling restless, acting on impulse, or getting frustrated easily. On the other hand, focusing on tasks can be a challenge—you may feel distracted, forgetful, or like your mind is always drifting elsewhere.
Everyone experiences ADHD differently, so if any of this sounds familiar, know that you're not alone.
