Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, with significant functional impact. The etiology is multifactorial, involving dynamic interaction between genetic, neurobiological, environmental and psychosocial factors. Contemporary evidence demonstrates changes in frontostriatal circuits, dopaminergic dysfunction and cortical maturational delay, with repercussions on executive functions, emotional regulation and academic-social performance. This article expands the analysis of etiological determinants and critically discusses their implications throughout neurodevelopment, including comorbidities, emerging biomarkers, evolutionary trajectories and functional impact throughout life.
