Solution
The answer is ADHD: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Explanation for each option:
Narcissistic Personality Disorder: This disorder is characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. It does not primarily involve symptoms of inattentiveness and impulsive behavior.
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): This disorder is characterized by symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Individuals with ADHD may have difficulty focusing, following instructions, and controlling impulsive actions, making this the correct answer.
Autism: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication difficulties. While some individuals with autism may exhibit impulsive behavior, inattentiveness is not a core symptom of autism.
