The rise of online content and snappy TikToks about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has lifted the lid — and stigma — on daily life with the disorder.
But it’s also fuelling a spread of disinformation, doctors have warned.
In tonight’s 7NEWS Spotlight special, we go inside the world of ADHD — speaking to the experts, patients, families, schools and sceptics.
Among the latter is Dr Martin Whitely a medical health researcher.
He’s spent decades studying the diagnosis and prescription rates and tonight he’s sounding the alarm over what he’s calling the “ADHD industry”.
“There’s been a massive explosion in the rates of prescribing to adults,” Dr Whitely said.
Professor David Coghill, a psychiatrist and leading expert on ADHD, believes the record number of women being diagnosed is simply because their condition was missed as a child.
“I think it’s one of the positive things that girls and women are now coming forward and saying, could this be a ADHD?”
Joining the program, Sydney mum Alex Gray opens up about her mental health in a candid interview, sharing how her ADHD was missed as a child and why she believes genetics are the reason her daughter Ella, 12, Amelia, 3, and Spencer, 2, all have the condition too.
For a glimpse inside family life with ADHD, 7NEWS Spotlight spends a day with the Grays, a family of six with ADHD, to see how they manage their often frenetic household and why they’ve called in reinforcements.
Along with medication, they introduce us to the world of ADHD coaching — support they say has been a game-changer.
Join the conversation on Channel 7 and 7plus tonight at 8.40pm.
