Greater awareness behind ADHD surge, study suggests

A study led by King's College London suggests greater awareness, not a surge in prevalence, is behind the rising numbers seeking help for ADHD. Despite increasing diagnoses and longer wait times for assessment, rates of ADHD have remained stable. NHS England reports nearly 2.5 million people in England have ADHD, with over 550,000 awaiting assessment. Improving awareness and diagnosis is crucial to unlocking the talents of millions affected by ADHD, with calls for better support and non-drug therapies.
