What is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation. It’s not just about being easily distracted—it can also involve challenges with organization, time management, and maintaining focus.
While ADHD can present obstacles, it’s also associated with creativity, energy, and unique problem-solving abilities. At NU Psychology in Calgary, we view ADHD as a different way of thinking, and we’re here to help you harness its potential.
