Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder. Earlier thought to be a disease of childhood, it is now known to be present in adults too.

ADHD is a psychiatric disorder of neurodevelopmental type where the patient manifests worrisome behavior in the form of inattention, hyperactivity and / or impulsivity in such a manner that it affects their daily routine.

ADHD usually begins by the age of 6 to 12 years and to be confirmed, the symptoms need to be present for more than 6 months.

ADHD can impose problems in different aspects of life including relationships, social interactions as well in school or workplace. This is the reason why it needs to be managed at the earliest.
