Introduction
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. Although ADHD is often diagnosed during childhood, it can continue into adolescence and adulthood. Recognizing the early signs and symptoms is important for timely diagnosis, appropriate intervention, and better long-term outcomes. Many individuals and families explore homeopathy treatment for ADHD as part of a holistic approach to supporting attention, behavior, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
