| - | Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is classified as a mental health condition in which an individual has difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, acting without thinking, and has trouble sitting still. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 6 and 12 with an intensive analysis of the child’s distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity (Husney, 2018). The exact cause of ADHD is yet to be determined, but it is generally understood that both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the disruption of normal brain function and development. | + | Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is classified as a mental health condition in which an individual has difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, acting without thinking, and has trouble sitting still.
