Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by a constellation of inattentive and/or hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. The disorder is presented as a checklist of symptoms that must be present from the developmental period (before age 12 years) and evident across more than one setting (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). The global prevalence for adults with ADHD is 3 percent (Ayano, Tsegay, et al., 2023) and 8 percent for children and adolescents (Ayano, Demelash, et al., 2023).
