Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

— Wendy Aragaki, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Tempe, AZAdult ADHD is underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Adult ADHD affects people's daily functioning in so many ways, as it affects executive functioning overall. I find that adults who have not been diagnosed, often assume they are just "defective" or "suck at life" and other people have figured out how to handle things better. Not true. With strategies and possible medication, adults I work with find that their world changes dramatically for the better once we begin implementation.
