Understanding ADD/ADHD

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are common neurodevelopmental conditions that affect focus, organization, impulse control, and daily functioning. While many people associate ADHD with childhood, it often continues into adolescence and adulthood. With proper ADHD diagnosis and treatment, individuals can build the skills and support needed to thrive academically, professionally, and personally.

What Is ADD/ADHD?

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are common neurodevelopmental conditions that affect focus, organization, impulse control, and daily functioning. While many people associate ADHD with childhood, it often continues into adolescence and adulthood. With proper ADHD diagnosis and treatment, individuals can build the skills and support needed to thrive academically, professionally, and personally. People with ADHD may experience difficulties with:

Sustaining attention on tasks
Organizing responsibilities
Managing time effectively
Controlling impulses
Regulating emotions
Completing tasks or following instructions

ADHD is not a sign of laziness or lack of intelligence. It is a neurological condition that benefits from professional evaluation and personalized treatment.

ADD vs. ADHD: What’s the Difference?

Historically, the term ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) referred to individuals who experienced attention difficulties without hyperactivity. Today, clinicians generally use the broader diagnosis ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), which includes three primary presentations:

Inattentive Type (Previously Called ADD)

Common symptoms include:

Frequent forgetfulness
Difficulty concentrating
Losing items often
Trouble completing tasks

Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

Symptoms often include:

Restlessness or constant movement
Interrupting others
Difficulty waiting
Acting without thinking
