Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents. Typical symptoms first appear before the age of seven and include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Although symptoms sometimes improve over the course of life, the disorder can also affect adults and last a lifetime. While inattention leads to concentration problems and careless mistakes when writing, hyperactivity causes increased restlessness of the hands or feet.
A typical symptom of impulsivity is the difficulty of waiting for one's turn. In order to avoid negative consequences in the private, school and professional environment, possible signs of ADHD should be clarified regardless of age. In addition to drug therapy, professional treatment always includes psychological measures.
