Could it be Adult ADHD??
Despite its prevalence, ADHD in adults often goes unrecognised and remains under-diagnosed.
Inspired by Dr Muhammad Arif, general psychiatrist with a specialist interest in adult ADHD in Leicester, this leaflet aims to raise awareness of adult ADHD amongst general psychiatrists. As well as providing some hard-hitting facts about adult ADHD, it also includes a brief screening questionnaire to help identify those patients who may have undiagnosed or misdiagnosed ADHD.
