Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

ADHD Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder​​

Everybody can have difficulty sitting still, paying attention or controlling impulsive behaviour once in a while. For some people, however, the problems are so pervasive and persistent that they interfere with every aspect of their life: home, academic, social and work.

​

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.

 ​

Common symptoms people experience may include:

  • trouble with concentration or staying focused

  • hyper-focus

  • disorganisation and forgetfulness

  • impulsivity

  • emotional difficulties

  • hyperactivity or restlessness

  • Difficulty with time management, organisation and planning.

There are three types of ADHD, categorised by the primary symptoms: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined.

 

Treatment tends to be multi-modal and may include family support, educational support, medication, counselling/behavioural management, and/or occupational therapy.
