Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly-debated medical condition that often goes unrecognized and undiagnosed in children and adults. It is often mistaken for a visual processing disorder, but it’s actually a neurological disorder caused by long-term chemical imbalances in the areas of the brain responsible for impulse control, regulation of emotions, and decision making. People with ADHD often exhibit excessive levels of activity and impulsivity, difficulty focusing on tasks or projects, difficulty controlling emotions, lack of organization skills, and often seem unmotivated to complete tasks. To treat this condition, doctors often recommend therapy to develop coping skills that help improve self-regulation and management.
