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.
