Symptoms and intensity can vary but the key characteristics of ADHD are inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that around 4% of children in the UK have ADHD and

However, ADHD can be diagnosed later in childhood.<\/p>\n<p>When the symptoms were not identified during childhood, ADHD is diagnosed in adults. Diagnosis among adults is becoming increasingly common, and ADHD is recognised as a condition that affects both children and adults.<\/p>\n<h3>Core traits of ADHD<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"neu-ul-item\">\n<li class=\"neu-li-item\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"neu-li-icon fa-angle-right fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>Inattentiveness (difficulty concentrating and focusing)<\/li>\n<li class=\"neu-li-item\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"neu-li-icon fa-angle-right fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>Hyperactivity<\/li>\n<li class=\"neu-li-item\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"neu-li-icon fa-angle-right fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span>Impulsiveness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people with ADHD have traits that fall within all these areas, but this is not always the case. For example, around 2-3 in 10 people have problems with concentrating and focusing, but not with hyperactivity or impulsiveness.<\/p>\n<p>This form of ADHD was historically known as attention deficit disorder (ADD).
