Adults seeking ADHD help doubles

The number of adults seeking information about an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis has more than doubled in a little over two years, according to one of the country’s main support organisations.

ADHD Ireland said the number of adults contacting it about a possible diagnosis has grown from 125 in a 10-month period in 2017, to 274 adults accessing services in a similar period this year — a 120% increase.
