Joint Committee On Health

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

Ms Christina Riordan:

To go back to the early intervention perspective, we have introduced into our professional sessions in this roll-out of the programme a piece around women, girls and ADHD and how it might present differently. It is again about increasing awareness away from that typical presentation people see. A question we get asked all the time now is around girls and women with ADHD and that presentation. Awareness is a key thing among professionals and people themselves.
