While attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects people of all ages, it can have a particular round effect on young people, especially in their academic and social lives. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Proper treatment can enhance their lives, so they can truly thrive.

How ADHD Affects Teenagers
Adolescents with ADHD often struggle with:
- Maintaining focus
- Managing impulsive behaviors
- Regulating their energy levels
These challenges can lead to difficulties in academic performance, strained relationships, and low self-esteem. Social interactions may become problematic as teens with ADHD might find it challenging to follow conversations or remember social cues. The pressure to perform well in school and maintain friendships can exacerbate symptoms, creating a cycle of frustration and stress for both the teenager and their family.
