October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The goal is to reduce the stigma surrounding ADHD, provide resources for those affected, and educate the public about the challenges and realities of living with the condition. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, leading to difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
During ADHD Awareness Month, organisations and advocates share research, personal stories, and support tools to help individuals manage ADHD more effectively. It is a time to promote inclusivity, increase access to treatment options, and empower those with ADHD to live fulfilling lives.
Key themes often explored during the month include the importance of early diagnosis, the role of therapy and medication, strategies for managing ADHD in daily life, and how the condition can affect relationships, education, and work environments
