Understanding ADHD Symptoms

Overview

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that influences how people think, feel, and behave. While it brings unique strengths, it also presents challenges with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can impact education, work, and relationships.

The course Understanding ADHD Symptoms is designed to provide clarity, reduce stigma, and improve ADHD awareness by breaking down the condition’s core symptoms and how they show up across different life stages. Using insights from psychology, counselling, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), this program helps learners recognize symptoms, understand their impact on mental health, and apply strategies to manage them effectively.

Whether you are personally living with ADHD, supporting a family member, or working in education or healthcare, this course offers practical tools and a deeper awareness of ADHD.
