Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which can interfere with daily activities and executive functioning.
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting both children and adults. Seeking professional treatment is essential for improving focus, behavior regulation, and overall quality of life.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a mental health condition that affects attention, impulse control, and executive function. It typically emerges in early childhood and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. The condition presents in different forms, including inattentive ADHD, hyperactive-impulsive ADHD, and combined-type ADHD. People with ADHD often struggle with sustained mental effort, organization, and social skills, which can impact academic performance, relationships, and career development. Effective ADHD treatment, including behavioral therapy and medication, can help manage symptoms.
Common symptoms include:
- Restlessness, fidgeting, excessive talking, difficulty staying still, and frequent movement.
- Inattention, distractibility, impulsive decision-making, difficulty following instructions, and challenges with executive functioning.
- Mood swings, frustration, difficulty managing emotions, impatience, and sensitivity to criticism.

Key signs of ADHD
ADHD symptoms vary but commonly include difficulty sustaining attention, forgetfulness, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and trouble with executive function. People with inattentive ADHD may struggle with organization and staying focused, while those with hyperactive-impulsive ADHD may experience restlessness and difficulty waiting their turn. Without proper support, ADHD can impact daily activities, school performance, and relationships.
Primary causes of ADHD
ADHD is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Differences in the prefrontal cortex, which controls attention and impulse regulation, contribute to challenges with executive functioning. While ADHD is not caused by parenting style or diet, structured behavioral treatments and supportive interventions can help manage symptoms effectively.
Treatment options for ADHD
ADHD treatment often includes a combination of behavioral therapy, ADHD medication, and structured support systems. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people develop coping strategies, while stimulant and non-stimulant medications assist with focus and impulse control. Physical activity and lifestyle adjustments can also improve attention and emotional regulation. For those needing additional support, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide structured therapy and behavioral health interventions tailored to ADHD management.

In their words
“When I got to Charlie Health, I was in a place where I did not want to accept any more help. I was fresh out of the hospital and had seen my fair share of therapists and psychiatrists. I was put in Charlie Health by hospital staff because it was the one thing I was sort of open to. After my first group session, I left smiling. That was the first time I showed a genuine smile in 7 months. It wasn't overnight or in one Zoom meeting that I felt better, but over the weeks in Charlie Health, I connected and shared with people in ways I had been very closed off to just weeks before. I loved my time here, and I looked forward to group every day. Even if I didn't share, I still enjoyed it. I love Charlie Health and thank them for getting me out of place I never thought I could.”
