How to improve ADHD support for people
Background
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by difficulties with concentration, energy levels, impulsiveness, or a person’s ability to manage their time.
Recently, there has been a massive rise in demand for assessment, diagnosis and support for ADHD. Local Healthwatch raised concerns with us about the state of ADHD services.
We commissioned YouGov to run two rounds of polling about adults’ experiences of ADHD. We also ran our own survey, asking people with both diagnosed and possible ADHD to share their experiences with us.
Our findings show what the public has shared about the difficulties they have faced accessing support for ADHD.
