Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to maintain attention, control impulses, and regulate activity level. A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and collected by the American Psychiatric Association reports that “14% of children and adolescents between 3 and 17 years old were ever diagnosed with ADHD.” For its part, according to the Ingada Foundation (Galician Institute of ADHD and Associated Disorders) it affects “around 4.4% of the adult population.” Although ADHD can be a real challenge throughout a person’s life, it does not mean that people with ADHD cannot be successful in their goals.
With the right strategies, people with ADHD can achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Now, it is essential to remember that each person with ADHD is unique. It is advisable to consult a professional to evaluate the person and provide the necessary guidance so that they can successfully meet the goals they set in life.
