ADHD – Understanding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

 

What Is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, focus, and self-control. It often begins in childhood and can continue into adulthood if untreated.
People with ADHD may struggle with concentration, impulsivity, or hyperactivity, which can affect their performance in school, work, and relationships.

At La Mente – The Mind Clinic, our team of psychiatrists and psychologists provide comprehensive ADHD treatment in Hyderabad—helping both children and adults manage symptoms and build better focus and balance.

What Causes ADHD?

The exact cause of ADHD is not fully known, but research shows it may result from a combination of:

  • Genetic factors (runs in families)

  • Brain structure and function differences

  • Premature birth or low birth weight

  • Prenatal exposure to alcohol, smoking, or stress

  • Environmental influences such as toxins or chaotic upbringing

Our specialists assess each patient thoroughly to identify the root causes and contributing factors before planning treatment.

Types of ADHD

  1. Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-PI): Difficulty maintaining focus and following instructions.

  2. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type (ADHD-HI): Restlessness, impulsive behavior, and constant movement.

  3. Combined Type (ADHD-C): A mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.

Understanding the type of ADHD helps us personalize therapy and interventions effectively.
