What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition that can cause unusual hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors. ADHD is considered a dysfunction of executive functioning, predominantly a frontal lobe activity. People with ADHD have difficulty not only with focus and concentration but also in decision-making and emotional regulation. Children with ADHD can have trouble with social interactions, be easily frustrated, and be impulsive. They are often labeled as “troublemakers.”
