ADHD, ADD
AD(H)D stands for Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, which is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that can interfere with daily functioning and quality of life
ADHD and ADD are terms that are often used to describe attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. However, it's essential to understand that ADHD is the more modern and inclusive term, while ADD refers to a specific subtype of ADHD. In the most recent diagnostic terminology, ADHD is the preferred term used by healthcare professionals and in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
