UNDERSTANDING A SHARED EXPERIENCE

It is very important to raise awareness and better understanding of ADHD. One good way to do this is to create places where we share information and support health professionals and public service who work with adhd people. Better understanding and management of adhd also improve quality of life. Together we make the change!

Diagnosis & Treatment #TalkingThursdays

Every year our goal is to reach the public and raise awareness in Europe and globally. In 2022, we celebrated #TalkingThursdays by launching videos and live online webinars each week of October. 

ADHD Europe members talking about diagnosis / treatment in their country. Diagnosis & Treatment is different in each European country in Europe. Our members from Europe shared their best practices and knowledge. All videos are very informative for everyone globally.

Workplace

Should I disclose my ADHD diagnosis at work? – Dr. Ari Tuckman. Telling the boss you have ADHD is a big decision and not to be done casually. Dr. Ari Tuckman has some advice on when and why you might disclose at work — and when you might not  ‘I think if the question is: Do you disclose at work? That’s a little bit more complicated because the rest of our life does not have human resources law applied to it. I think if you have a boss who seems understanding, if you have co-workers who seem understanding, perhaps’.
