Understanding ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition present in 3-4% of adults. It often starts in childhood.
ADHD influences a person’s behaviour which can include differences in attention, activity, and impulsivity.
When channelled in the right direction, ADHD can be a huge asset. Many creative, adventurous and energetic high-profile people are gifted with ADHD.
