What is ADHD?
Hello, I'm Mindy. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity as its core features. It affects about 5–7% of all children and is caused by differences in the brain's frontal lobe function and dopamine system.
