Description

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is generally characterized by some combination of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention. Three major types of ADHD are currently described. For more information, see the Presentations and Diagnostic Criteria sections below. These symptoms are present in the affected child to such a degree that they significantly interfere in at least two areas of the child's life, such as in the home and classroom.
