Understanding the basics
What is ADHD?
A brain difference, not a flaw
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition. It changes how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and energy.
Not about willpower
It isn't caused by laziness or lack of intelligence. It's linked to differences in dopamine signalling and executive function.
It starts early
ADHD usually begins in childhood and often continues into adulthood. The way it shows up can shift at every stage of life.
Focus works differently
People with ADHD may struggle to stay focused on tasks they find boring. They can also hyper-focus intensely on things that interest them.
Thriving is possible
With understanding, support, and the right strategies, people with ADHD can thrive. It comes with real strengths like creativity and curiosity.
