ADHD Awareness Month - October 2018

By

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus, self-control and many other important skills. However, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring.
Although awareness surrounding adult ADHD has grown in recent years, there is still a long way to go in regards to raising awareness, which is why the Attention Deficit Disorder Association is using 2018’s campaign to not only teach the wider population about ADHD but also offer useful guidance to ADHD sufferers so that they can help themselves.
For more information surrounding ADHD, please visit the Attention Deficit Disorder Association website: https://add.org/adhd-awareness/
