WHAT IS ADHD?
ADHD can have a profound, lifelong impact on an individual’s ability to achieve their goals in education, workplace satisfaction, and social and relationship well-being. When ADHD is not properly recognised or treated, it can lead to significant challenges for individuals and society alike.
In fact, ineffective recognition and treatment of ADHD are estimated to cost the Australian government over $20 billion annually. This burden includes reduced productivity and increased costs in healthcare, education, and the justice system, all of which reflect the challenges faced by individuals with untreated ADHD.
