ADULT ADHD AWARENESS in Ireland is on the rise, but the State support services are not there to back it, according to Chief Executive of ADHD Ireland, Ken Kilbride.
“We are hearing that some clinics are reporting that up to one third of new referrals are now for ADHD. Getting a diagnosis privately even if you can afford it, is also no less onerous, particularly if medication is indicated,” he said. However, while he said much of the discussion was centred around the difficulties of living with ADHD, there is a need to highlight the positives, stating that many people with ADHD have played to their creative strengths and are top of the game in areas such as sport, business and the arts.
The organisation states that it suspects that less than 10% of adults with ADHD are getting formal treatment.
