ADD and ADHD are mental health conditions that are associated with attention and focus-related issues. ADD, or attention deficit disorder, is particularly related to the inability to finish tasks, short-attention spans, and emotional interruption. ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, refers to attention issues specifically due to hyperactive distractions. The most significant distinction between ADD and ADHD is the physical behaviors and distractions correlated to ADHD. Gaining the skills to manage your attention disorders is critical to daily productivity and functioning.
