What is ADHD: ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that involves a persistent pattern of difficulty with regulating attention, emotion, and behaviour. These difficulties in turn interfere with important aspects of one's life (i.e., academic, social, or occupational functioning). Based on the presentation of symptoms, a diagnosis of ADHD can fall into one of three categories:

• Predominantly Inattentive Presentation (Examples of symptoms include difficulties with attending to information, staying organized, and managing time)

• Predominantly Hyperactive Presentation (Examples of symptoms include excessive need for movement and impulsive behaviour)

• Combined Presentation (Subtype consists of a combination of hyperactive and inattentive symptoms)
