ADHD

By this point in the school year, many students with ADHD are tired. The backpack is full of crumpled papers. The planner may be missing in action. Homework feels harder.

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went in? Or started a sentence, only to lose your train of thought halfway through? If you nodded, you’re not alone — and no, it doesn’t mean you’re losing your mind. As we age, many of us notice changes in our memory, focus, and mental clarity.
