Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. It typically begins in childhood, though symptoms often continue into adolescence and adulthood.

Environmental influences, such as prenatal exposure to alcohol, nicotine, or stress, can also increase risk. Early childhood factors like low birth weight or lead exposure may contribute to its development.
