October is ADHD Awareness Month - a campaign which aims to raise awareness about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), educate the public, reduce stigma, and provide support to individuals and families affected. It also highlights the importance of early diagnosis, effective treatment, and understanding the challenges faced by those with ADHD.
Whilst ADHD is most likely to be diagnosed in childhood, an increasing number of people are now diagnosed for the first time in adulthood. A UK study conducted, between 2000 and 2018, showed approximately a twenty-fold increase in ADHD diagnoses in adults and nearly a fifty-fold increase in ADHD prescriptions in men between the ages of 18-29.
