As reported in today’s Guardian, a new report by the think tank Demos has shown the enormous cost of undiagnosed ADHD in adults. Based on a literature review and interviews with 10 adults with ADHD which was not diagnosed in childhood, the report highlights that the economic burden of ADHD to the UK economy is likely to be far greater for adults with the condition than children, because of the far reaching effects it has on the lives of those with it. It recommends that adult ADHD should be given much greater attention in government thinking about mental health.
