About this event

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) Awareness Month

ADHD is a condition that affects people's behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse.

Symptoms of ADHD tend to be noticed at an early age and may become more noticeable when a child's circumstances change, such as when they start school.

However, in the UK and Europe, around 90% of adults with ADHD are undiagnosed, especially girls and women. In England only 0.35% of girls and 1.5% of boys are receiving treatment, compared with a global average of 5.3% of children.

This awareness month aims to make more people aware of the disorder so they can recognise the signs and symptoms - and be helped to manage this.
