ADHD Europe Survey
There are real challenges people with ADHD face. We want to understand real ADHD experiences:
• Barriers to getting diagnosed
• Gaps in support and services
• Access to treatment and care
• Daily stigma and discrimination
• What’s helping — and what’s missing
Across Europe and the United Kingdom, many individuals and families continue to experience significant challenges due to inconsistencies in awareness, assessment processes, and access to appropriate support. While national systems differ, the need for informed policy development and improved service provision is shared across regions.
