What is it?
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affect an estimated 3-5% of children and adults in the United States, although some experts believe up to 10% of all Americans have some degree of ADD/ADHD.
The symptoms of ADD/ADHD include:

  1. Inattention
  2. Impulsiveness
  3. Hyperactivity that is inappropriate for a person's age level
Children who have ADD/ADHD often:
  1. Are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment
  2. Are unable to concentrate for long periods of time on low stimulation tasks (homework vs. video games)
  3. Are restless and impulsive
  4. Have a tendency to daydream
  5. Are slow to complete tasks
Adults who have ADD/ADHD often:
  1. Miss work deadlines
  2. Miss appointments
  3. Appear hectic and disorganized 
  4. Have significant problems prioritizing
Symptoms of ADD/ADHD in adults and children vary by individual and range from mild to severe.
