What Is ADHD?
Although ADHD can be treated with appropriate medication, some people with ADHD continue to have problems with attention and the ability to be focused. A person’s symptoms could be genetics, medical problems, developmental problems, trauma, stressful life events, or environmental factors like diet, sleep, or stress.
