It is typically first diagnosed in childhood and can continue into adulthood. The condition is often associated with difficulties in sustaining attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

The exact cause of tähelepanuväljaku is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Research suggests that there may be a genetic predisposition, and environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to substances, brain injury, or certain medical conditions can also play a role.

Symptoms of tähelepanuväljaku can vary widely among individuals. Common symptoms include difficulty focusing on tasks, forgetfulness, disorganization, restlessness, and impulsive behavior. These symptoms can impact various aspects of life, including academic performance, social interactions, and daily activities.

Treatment for tähelepanuväljaku often involves a combination of strategies, including behavioral therapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications. Behavioral therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can help individuals develop coping mechanisms and improve attention skills.

Lifestyle modifications, including regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep, can also contribute to better management of the condition.
