Could it be ADHD? Recognising ADHD in youth and adults
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in childhood and continues into adulthood in most cases.

GPs are well placed to identify patients with ADHD and refer for specialist treatment. Effective treatment can be life-changing.
