What is ADHD?
If you have had problems concentrating for as long as you can remember, often forget things, have difficulty keeping things in order and completing tasks, and experience problems with overactivity, such as difficulty sitting still or doing things without thinking, you may have ADHD.
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder and means that you have difficulty maintaining your attention. You may also have problems getting things done and keeping things organized. There is good help available for ADHD, so that your everyday life can function better.

ADHD and ADD - differences
ADD is a form of ADHD where you have problems with your attention and concentration, but are not overactive. The letter H in ADHD stands for hyperactivity. The main difference between ADD and other forms of ADHD is that a person with ADD is not hyperactive.
It is common for there to be a delay before you are assessed and diagnosed with ADD, as your difficulties are less visible to others than to those with ADHD. To find out if you have ADD, you will need to undergo a neuropsychiatric assessment.
Causes of ADHD and ADD
The cause of ADD and other forms of ADHD is not fully understood, but the parts of the brain that control things like attention and impulses are affected. ADD is more common in girls than in boys.
ADD, unlike other forms of ADHD, mainly causes problems with attention. To be considered ADD, the symptoms must have been present throughout life and cause significant difficulties in everyday life.
Symptoms of ADHD
