Understanding the Experiences, Comorbidities, and Healthcare Outcomes for people with ADHD across the life course

It is estimated that around 2.6 million people in the UK have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD has historically been viewed as a childhood condition, but research shows that it commonly persists into adulthood. Younger adults with ADHD face significant challenges, including mental and physical health issues, difficulties accessing healthcare, and earlier mortality. However, little is known about how ADHD affects adults aged 50 and older, leaving their needs poorly understood and unmet.
