El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es una afección crónica de salud mental que dificulta que los niños y adultos se concentren en las tareas, presten atención, controlen el comportamiento impulsivo e incluso se sientan quietos. Estos desafíos a menudo impiden que los niños funcionen bien en la escuela y se lleven bien con los miembros de la familia en el hogar. Los síntomas del TDAH hiperactivo o impulsivo incluyen inquietud o agitación, dificultad para jugar en silencio y hablar e interrumpir en exceso. Los síntomas del TDAH desatento son cometer errores por descuido, distraerse con facilidad, dificultad para seguir instrucciones y olvido.
