Dr. Sonia Morris:

It is interesting in that many adults who go on to get an adult diagnosis of ADHD have been through the services as children and the diagnosis has been missed because they are presenting more with mental health concerns, for example, anxiety and depression. Undiagnosed neurodivergence is underlying and driving those. We need upskilling in schools with teachers, for sure.

We also need upskilling with clinicians, bringing in neuordivergence onto the radar of mental health commissions so that they are better able to identify potentially undiagnosed ADHD, in particular in the female cohort.
