Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting focus, impulse control and activity levels. It is often diagnosed in childhood but can persist into adulthood. ADHD has three main subtypes: the inattentive subtype struggles with focus and organisation, the hyperactive-impulsive subtype exhibits fidgeting, interrupting, and difficulty waiting, the combined subtype experiences symptoms from both.
ADHD symptoms vary by subtype but generally fall into two categories: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Inattention symptoms include difficulty sustaining focus, being easily distracted, and forgetting daily tasks. Hyperactivity symptoms involve restlessness, fidgeting and difficulty staying seated. Impulsivity symptoms include blurting out answers, interrupting others and impatience in waiting situations. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life and vary in severity among individuals with ADHD.
ADHD is acknowledged as a neurodevelopmental disorder rather than a mental illness. It impacts brain development and functions, such as attention and impulse control. It is classified under the DSM-5 and recognised as a disability under UK laws, like the Equality Act, ensuring access to accommodations in education and work settings. While not traditionally classified as a mental illness, ADHD presents psychological challenges that effect self-esteem and relationships due to its impact on cognitive functions.

I really appreciated that Andy took time to personalise the content. My role requires me to deliver a lot of customer service via email and telephone, so he made an effort to include content and examples that were applicable to my role.
