ADHD is an psychiatric disorder diagnosed in children. The symptoms (summarized from the criteria for ADHD on the CDC website) include inattention (not attentive to detail, easily distracted, forgetful), hyperactivity (excessively chatty and can not sit still), and impulsivity (can not wait one's turn, interrupts others).
