🗓️ October is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month.

🧠 ADHD is a condition where someone’s brain works differently to most people’s.

❓Symptoms of ADHD involve your ability to pay attention to things (being inattentive), having high energy levels (being hyperactive) and your ability to control your impulses (being impulsive).

You may show signs of being inattentive, such as:

- being easily distracted or forgetful
- finding it hard to organise your time
- finding it hard to follow instructions or finish tasks
- losing things often, like your wallet, mobile or keys

You may show signs of being hyperactive and impulsive, including:

- having a lot of energy or feeling restless
- being very talkative or interrupting conversations
- making quick decisions without thinking about what might happen as a result

✅ Most people with ADHD will have symptoms of both the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive type. Some only show signs of one type.

👇The NHS website has more information about symptoms, getting help and how to manage ADHD.
