Toronto, Ontario — October 1, 2024
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects approximately 1.8 million children, adolescents, and adults across Canada. Yet, despite the significant impact ADHD can have on dayto-day life, many individuals remain undiagnosed, untreated or undertreated.
Once believed to only affect children and adolescents, ADHD is now widely reconized as a lifespan disorder. Research shows skills and treatment can help improve academic achievement, enhance social skills, and reduce the risk of long-term mental health issues.
