What is ADHD?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. Diagnosis is usually made in childhood and often lasts into adulthood.
According to information from the CDC, deciding if a child has ADHD is a multi-step process. There is no single test to diagnose ADHD, and there are many other problems, such as anxiety, depression, and certain types of learning disorders, that can have similar symptoms.
What is hyperfocus in patients with ADHD?
According to the Spanish Federation of Associations to Help Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (FEAADAH), hyperfocus is one of the ADHD qualities that most allows you to advance in a professional career and also helps to give wings to the person’s entrepreneurial spirit, since it allows them to concentrate exhaustively on an activity they are doing.
It should be noted that hyperfocus does not occur when the person wants, but is activated spontaneously, almost always in activities that are fascinating to the patient.
