ADHD Awareness Month is an annual observance held in October to raise awareness about Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The month-long campaign aims to educate the public, reduce stigma, and provide support to individuals and families affected by ADHD. It also highlights the importance of early diagnosis, effective treatment, and understanding the challenges faced by those with ADHD.
ADHD traits usually start before the age of six, but you can be diagnosed at any age. Some people don't realise they have ADHD until they're much older. ADHD can be different for everyone and depend on your age, sex, gender identity and if you have other neurodevelopmental conditions.
