Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people's behaviour, including restlessness and impulsiveness. Symptoms usually improve with age but many adults continue to experience problems.

The exact cause is unknown but it runs in families and there are differences in the brains of people with the condition compared to those without it. Other factors include premature birth, low birthweight, smoking/alcohol/drug abuse during pregnancy and more common in people with learning difficulties.

Myth # 2: ADHD is a Disorder of Childhood. Long-term studies of children diagnosed with ADHD show that ADHD is a lifespan disorder. Recent follow-up studies of children with ADHD show that ADHD persists from childhood to adolescence in 50%–80% of cases, and into adulthood in 35%–65% of cases (Owens et al. 2015).
