Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often understood as a disorder of attention – characterised by symptoms of hyperactivity or impulsivity – but it is much more complex than that. Many individuals experience symptoms that can impair relationships and lead to underperformance in school, work and life – ultimately resulting in lost potential. Common cooccurring conditions include anxiety, depression and other neurodevelopmental disorders, such as dyslexia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

When a person with ADHD has inconsistent attention, it can significantly impact their ability to execute tasks or engage in goal-directed behaviour. Examples include difficulties with focus, time management and staying organised.
