ADHD is not a condition limited to a specific age group, gender, or background. It can affect individuals of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds.
While some individuals with ADHD may see a reduction in hyperactivity as they age, the core symptoms of inattention and impulsivity can persist into adulthood. This often leads to difficulties in areas such as work, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
ADHD is a global phenomenon, impacting individuals from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, but cultural factors may influence the expression of symptoms and attitudes toward diagnosis and treatment. It’s important to consider cultural diversity when assessing and supporting individuals with ADHD.
ADHD is a condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, or cultural diversity. Recognising the diversity of those who can be affected by ADHD is crucial for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and the provision of support tailored to individual needs.
Symptoms often manifest differently in individuals and can have a significant impact on various aspects of life.
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults.
“The consultation was a much more positive experience than I anticipated. I was nervous about laying my mind out on a table to be diagnosed by a psychiatrist. Dr Mashru treated me with courtesy, respect and care, and gave clear and thorough explanations of my symptoms, his diagnosis and recommended treatment.”
