Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a common mental health condition that doctors typically diagnose in children. There are three distinct types of the disorder:

• Inattentive and Distracted Type
• Impulsive and Hyperactive Type
• Combined Type

Healthcare professionals can’t pinpoint the exact causes behind the disorder but suggest that genetics may play an important role. If your family has a history of ADHD or other mental health disorders, you may be more likely to have it. Other possible factors contributing to a diagnosis include lead exposure during early childhood, low birth weight, or premature delivery. 

When living with ADHD, you’ll likely experience the following behavioral issues:

• Difficulty maintaining attention
• Impulsivity, possibly leading to unsafe actions
• Restlessness and fidgeting
• Moodiness or irritability

Your symptoms may vary depending on the type of ADHD you have. Any of these symptoms could contribute to poor performance at work or school and make daily tasks difficult. With professional treatment, you can keep your symptoms at bay and go about your routine with ease.
