How can ADHD affect school and work performance?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can significantly affect school and work performance. Individuals with ADHD often struggle with staying focused, completing tasks on time, and organizing their work. These difficulties can lead to poor grades at school and low work productivity. In addition, ADHD can also affect social interactions, leading to problems with peers and colleagues. To help manage the impact of ADHD on academic and professional performance, individuals with ADHD may benefit from medication, therapy, and accommodations such as increased time for assignments or the use of tools to help with organization and focus.
