What is ADHD?

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
 

It is a neurobehavioral disorder that affects children and adults and causes difficulties with attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. However, the actual problem goes far beyond this. It manifests itself in the impairment of those affected to consider future goals and consequences in their behavior. According to conservative estimates, 5 to 8 percent of all school children and 2 to 5 percent of all adults suffer from ADHD. ADHD has a high hereditary factor.
 

ADHD is not a fashionable diagnosis, but a real impairment that can present a real obstacle.

Fortunately, however, an ADHD diagnosis does not have to be a devastating verdict. ADHD is without doubt the most treatable mental disorder! Those affected who find a productive way of dealing with their ADHD and access to their unique abilities can often enrich the world in a special way: creativity, spontaneity, openness, emotionality and a sense of justice seem to be a little more generously distributed among us ADHD sufferers.
