Mr. Ken Kilbride:

We also find that coming through our support groups in particular. It comes up regularly, where women come to the group to ask what they can say to their doctor and how they can talk to them. This can be also be found with children, in particular with girls. It is said that because she sits quietly in the clinic, and is doing okay in school, she could not possibly have ADHD. There is work to be done there. The other challenge is that while psychiatrists can do the assessment, there is also the upkeep of medication. When a psychiatrist gets a person stable on medication, he or she would like to transfer the person to the GP. There might be five in the country who do it. There is a lot of work to be done in getting GPs to help and support people with ADHD medication in Ireland.
