ADHD is one of the medical conditions in which an individual's brain development occurs differently along with the brain activity that hampers the attention of a person, leaves the person to sit in one place for a long time, and low self-control.

Due to the occurrence of ADHD, a person's normal life is being affected, whether it is at school, friendship, and home. With this disorder, a child will not be able to perform to the fullest and can even last life long.
