ADHD
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect focus, organisation, activity levels, and impulse control. While often diagnosed in childhood, adults sometimes discover their ADHD later in life. In many cases it is manageable with assessment and treatment.
