A common
developmental and behavioral disorder. It is characterized by poor
concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness that are
inappropriate for the child's age. Children and adults with ADHD are easily
distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for
long periods of time, are restless and impulsive, or have a tendency to daydream
and be slow to complete tasks .(Attention deficit and
hyperactivity disorder) describes the problems of children who are overactive
and have difficulties concentrating. In everyday life, people often describe
children who become excitable, boisterous or disobedient as hyperactive. The
professional term refers to a more severe and long-lasting problem. See our
