Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD, which stands for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodivergent condition that affects both children and adults. It is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning and development.

How common is it? 

The prevalence of ADHD in adults in Australia is estimated to be around 4%, although it may vary depending on the specific study and population surveyed. It is important to note that many adults with ADHD remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, potentially leading to difficulties in various aspects of their lives.
