Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a medical/neurobiological condition in which the brain’s neurotransmitter chemicals, noradrenalin and dopamine do not work properly.

It is a genetic and longterm condition which affects learning and behaviour right through the school years and in many cases beyond into adulthood.

It is a disorder that can co-exist to a greater or less- er degree, with any or other disorders such as dyslexia, autism, learning disorder, dyspraxia, conduct disorder, oppositional defiance disorder.

ADHD is a very treatable condition. If diagnosed and properly treated, people with adhd can reach their potential and lead happy and successful lives.

The Dundalk support group meetings are aimed at discussing concerns, issues and resources available for ADHD in your work, and home life, or your child’s school life.

The first meeting is being held Redeemer Family Resource Centre today (Tuesday) from 11-1pm. Drop in or register interest at HADD-ADHD Ireland. Ph: 01 8748349 email nicola@hadd.ie.
