ADHD is a neurological disorder that is characterized by a combination of inattention, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity. These symptoms and their severity vary from person to person, but those with ADHD typically have a harder time with tasks related to school or work and can appear very disorganized.

There are a number of ways to deal with ADHD, including behavioral therapy, re-structuring classrooms and workspaces, and stimulant medication. Through a combination of treatments, many people with ADHD can get through daily life easier, though there isn't a definitive cure.
