Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health term you may hear frequently these days, but what exactly is it? How can you recognize and treat it?

CASA clinical manager Douglas Nechio joined Global News Morning Edmonton to talk about what ADHD is, why it can go under-diagnosed in girls compared to boys, and more.
