ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting children and adults across the lifespan. It is also the most easily managed with life changing impact. Research demonstrates up to 5% of the population lives with ADHD. Yet ADHD presents in up to 50% of the incarcerated, addicted and homeless. ADHD co-exists with poor educational and occupational outcomes, relationship challenges, loneliness, depression, anxiety and suicidality. The social and economic impact is growing since first assessed at $14b per year in 2019.
At ADHDx we believe this must change and are leading the way. Bringing together a team of experts in their fields we are developing screening tools, education programs for those living and working on the ADHD front line, and accessible and effective collaborative care pathways to help navigate life with ADHD.
