"The Many Faces of ADHD"
According to Dr. Jim Saperstone from Community Care Pediatrics in Guilderland, ADHD is one of the most common mental health conditions in children, yet many cases remain undiagnosed. He notes that ADHD encompasses more than just hyperactivity, causing difficulties in sitting still, focusing, and emotional management in both kids and adults.
- Trouble sitting still
- Diculty focusing on one task
- Managing emotions
These challenges can impact classroom and home life, hindering children's ability to learn and communicate.
