Meta-analysis of 6 studies under 12 years old reported 13% with indications of ADHD.

Meta-analysis of 5 studies 12-18 years old, found an ADHD rate of 43%.

ADHD rate among homeless teens was 3.3 times greater than among homeless kids

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

The team concluded, “The review of 13 studies revealed that ADHD is common in homeless children and adolescents, suggesting that homelessness may contribute to the development or exacerbation of ADHD symptoms. Conversely, ADHD with other comorbidities may increase the likelihood of homelessness. Reintegrating these children and adolescents into care systems and ensuring access to public health interventions tailored for homeless families and youth is imperative for breaking the cycle of homelessness and improving long-term trajectories.” In other words, this review not only confirmed a strong link between homelessness and ADHD in children and youth, but also suggested a complex, cyclical relationship. Providing tailored health care and support for these vulnerable groups is crucial to interrupt this cycle and help improve their future outcomes.

Conservative Labour's holy war on ADHD people

"NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments

Patient groups decry ‘scandalous’ delays as 4 integrated care boards take step due to soaring demand for diagnoses"

Silhouetted children on swingsView image in fullscreen A government-commissioned report due to be published next month will highlight up to 24-fold rises in the prevalence of neurodiversity in boys since 2000. Photograph: Gareth Fuller/PA NHS NHS bodies in England impose two-year minimum wait for ADHD and autism assessments Patient groups decry ‘scandalous’ delays as four integrated care boards take step due to soaring demand for diagnoses https://archive.is/G3Y7s#selection-1146.0-1271.117 There is so much underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis on ADHD worldwide. But Doctors in Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand etc are able to diagnose ADHD IF they have been properly trained on ADHD. I don't think UK doctors are less able to learn how to diagnose and medically treat ADHD if they have mandatory CME Courses on ADHD than their counterparts in other countries. Why does Starmer's Conservative Labour Govt refuse to require ALL doctors And Nurse Practitioners to have mandatory CME Courses on ADHD so they can diagnose ADHD? There are not enough psychiatrists & psychologists to diagnose ADHD in the UK Are any ADHD organizations or ADHD bloggers/vloggers encouraging ADHD people to contact their MPs and explain why the Labour govt should stop violating the human rights of people with ADHD and allow them timely access to competently trained doctors and nurse practitioners for ADHD assessments and medication treatment? And reduce the underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of ADHD with dysthymia, depression and anxiety disorders? Comorbidity is the norm with ADHD, not the exception. Pete Quily Adult ADHD Coach 28% Of Referrals To A Mood Disorders Clinic Had Undetected ADHD. ADHD Was Also Diagnosed In 22.6% Of Patients Referred To The Clinic For Treatment-Resistant Depression. Only 5% Of Adults Have ADHD. Misdiagnosis Of ADHD As Anxiety & Depression Are Huge Problems. https://adultaddstrengths.com/2016/04/30/28-of-referrals-to-a-mood-and-anxiety-clinic-had-undiagnosed-adhd/

Ever been told you were not paying attention while trying your hardest to keep up?

For many people with ADHD, the barrier is not ability. It is how information is presented.

Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells, MD View on YouTube Accessing ADHD care can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming — especially when providers are hard to find, waitlists are long, or care gets interrupted by life changes.

In this session, viewers will learn: Why accessing ADHD diagnosis and treatment can be challenging Where to start when feeling stuck or overwhelmed How to find qualified, evidence‑based ADHD providers What to do when providers don’t return calls or have limited availability How to plan ahead for transitions in care, such as moves or aging out of pediatric services How to identify quality ADHD care and avoid misinformation Why community and connection are important parts of the care journey This session is intended for parents, caregivers, adults with ADHD, and professionals seeking reliable information and reassurance about accessing ADHD care. CAROLYN LENTZSCH-PARCELLS, MD Carolyn Lentzsch-Parcells, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the TCU Burnett School of Medicine.
