National service for adults suffering from ADHD opens doors in Dublin

THE first national multi-disciplinary service dedicated to adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has opened in Dublin.

The Dean Clinic on Capel Street estimates there may be up to 120,000 adults in the country with undiagnosed ADHD.

According to the service co-coordinated by Dr Jessica Bramham, this figure is based on the US prevalence rate which is estimated to be up to 4% of the population.
