Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects children to varying degrees and in different ways, but it can have a serious impact on everyday functioning and relationships. Children with severe ADHD often perform poorly, may have social problems and may suffer from low self-esteem. An accurate diagnosis is essential.
ADHD can persist into adolescence and adulthood and can be associated with problems such as substance misuse, unemployment, and involvement in crime. It is therefore important for children to be diagnosed accurately and for a treatment plan to be put in place. Whether you are a teenager who has been diagnosed with ADHD, or you are the parent or carer or teacher of someone who has the condition, we understand that you face lots of challenges and have many questions and concerns.
