ADHD Awareness Month

This year, we’re talking about the ‘Many faces of ADHD’. Myths about ADHD are harmful and can perpetuate stigma and pain, so during ADHD Awareness Month, it’s the ideal time to share the facts. https://www.adhdawarenessmonth.org/myths-and-facts-about-adhd/

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, affecting people of all ages. Yet despite how common it is, ADHD is still widely misunderstood.

ADHD affects focus, emotional regulation, memory, motivation, time management and more. It shows up differently in everyone across age groups and genders. With better understanding comes better support. https://www.adhdawarenessmonth.org/

If you have any of the symptoms you'll find on the link, it’s important to go to your GP straight away. Finding a cancer early gives the best chance of successful treatment.https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/breast-cancer/types/male-breast-cancer
