Attention deficit hyperactive disorder - otherwise known as ADHD - is a neurological disorder which typically causes a difficulty in focusing, as well as impulsive or erratic behaviour. The condition effects in the region of one in 50 adults across the United Kingdom, but a recent trend on social media has seen a large volume self-diagnose themselves with the condition.
If you worry that you may have ADHD, you should always speak to your GP before self diagnosing - as a doctor has the ability to refer you to a specialist for a formal assessment.
Seeking professional help can also help you manage the condition, while they can also assist by prescribing necessary medication. Both have been shown to improve outcomes for people living with the condition.
