ADHD Capitalization: When and How to Use Correctly

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by attention difficulty, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It is usually diagnosed in childhood and can persist into adulthood.

The term "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" is generally capitalized when it is used as the full name of the condition, but not when it is used as a general term or as part of a sentence. For example:

- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition.

- My child has ADHD and is taking medication to manage it.

- ADHD can be a challenge, but there are many ways to manage it.
