Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is by quirk of history one of the worst named mental health conditions. The name is overwhelmingly negative and it steers people wrongly. There isn’t a deficit of attention – it is control of attention that is the issue – and hyperactivity isn’t a requirement.
Musicians Will.i.am and Mel B, chefs Heston Blumenthal and Candice Brown and Olympians Michael Phelps and Simone Biles are examples of people with ADHD, reflecting the fact that all genders and ethnicities can be affected by the condition.
