Listen to people from Germany, Spain and the UK tell their stories of how their experiences with ADHD has impacted their lives.

Case study 1

André, 49, Germany

"I was 36 then, (when diagnosed) and the particular thing of that moment was, of course, what struck me quite a lot, that a missing piece of the puzzle suddenly appears, and fit into the picture."

André

Case study 2

Fatima, Director of Fundación Educación Activa, Spain

"There are still many difficulties in getting a real diagnosis. Now is a time of utmost importance to keep spreading the word, to continue to help families from all areas, because it is a very environmental disorder. "

Case study 3

Jenny, 53, UK

 

"I think diagnosis and assessment gives clarity of identity and access to everything that people need to manage in their ADHD. It's a golden ticket to a new life. And I think it's so sad, desperately sad that people have not got access to assessment, let alone treatment."
