Joint Committee On Health

Services and Supports for People with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Discussion

Mr. Ken Kilbride:

To mention today's odd statistic, the ADHD hashtag has 20 billion views on TikTok. A lot of people are getting information from TikTok. We are certainly seeing many more celebrities coming out recently to say they have ADHD. The work ADHD Ireland has done over the past number of years has brought a lot of awareness to the issue. The Covid pandemic has certainly created awareness as well. We are facing - not the perfect storm - but much more awareness and the services are not there to match that at present.
