Pediatric ADHD

ADHD {Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder} is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children. It is frequently diagnosed for the first time as a child and continues into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have difficulty controlling impulsive behaviors, paying attention, or regulating their level of activity. The majority of children with ADHD continue to have it as teenagers. ADHD symptoms in teenagers are similar to those in children. Pediatric ADHD symptoms may worsen in adolescence, especially as adolescent hormonal changes and the pressures of school and extracurricular activities become more intense.
