Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a neurological condition in which the person faces difficulty maintaining attention over a period of time. Two sub-categories exist: Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity (ADHD), and Attention-Deficit without Hyperactivity (ADD). The signs include difficulty in sustaining focus, impulsivity and lack of persistence. In addition to these, ADHD includes excessive motor activity.
