ADHD is the acronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is said to affects 4-15% of the population depending on the country and who has done the research. It is non-discriminatory affecting both men and women (boys and girls) equally albeit boys were previously thought to be more effected; different ethnicities; people from all economic groups; educated and not... so you are likely to know someone who is affected. 

 

As the name states, it is a disorder, which means it can be quite  impactful on those diagnosed with ADHD - this can be negative or positive.  It affects focus, emotions, executive functioning, energy levels, behaviour and more.

​

There are three subtypes of ADHD that are used in diagnosis according to DSM-5. These are:

• Predominantly Inattentive

• Predominantly Hyperactive / Impulsive

• Combined (this is a combination of the other two)

​
