ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, and is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Mental health treatment for ADHD typically involves a combination of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) have both been categories used to pertain to disorders that affect attention and behavior. Historically, ADHD was the term used to describe the condition that included both hyperactivity and inattention symptoms, while ADD was used to describe the condition that primarily had inattention symptoms without hyperactivity. However, in the current diagnostic classification system (DSM-5), ADHD is the only term used to describe the condition.

Therapists also address co-occurring conditions. Many individuals with ADHD may also have other mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or substance abuse.
