A psychological or neurological condition characterized by inability to concentrate or pay attention; inattentiveness or distraction.
From Greek 'a-' (without) plus 'prosechein' (to attend to, pay attention). The term combines the negative prefix with a Greek verb meaning to direct one's mind toward something.
This clinical term describes what doctors notice when someone's brain can't filter out distractions—it's like having a radio stuck on every station at once instead of tuning into just one!
