Can you believe everything on social media about #ADHD 🤯. Let’s stop the confusion and get accurate. There’s an evidence base …..

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

17% of people in general adult psychiatric services had diagnosable #ADHD. Most of them are probably undiagnosed and misdiagnosed instead. Reported ⁦@rcpsych⁩ conference. #psychiatry #mentalhealth #neurodiversity

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

What are the red flags indicating an adult may have ADHD? This is useful. #psychiatry #mentalhealth #neurodiversity

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

Stimulant medications to treat ADHD have a stronger treatment effect than meds used to treat depression and psychosis! Even better when combined with psychological interventions. #psychiatry #mentalhealth #neurodiversity

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

When faced with #ADHD and co-existing conditions? What to treat first? The most severe condition. Treatment may later be combined - one exception, dont combine if person has a psychotic disorder. #psychiatry #mentalhealth #neurodiversity

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

Most prevalent co-existing conditions for ppl with #ADHD are anxiety (36%) and depression (43%). ADHD is the most common co-existing condition in people with substance use disorder (31%). There’s misdiagnosis for you! #psychiatry #mentalhealth #neurodiversity

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

What do we know about #Neurodivergent people and #sexuality?

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

Poorer psychosexual functioning for ppl with #ASD or #ADHD. Lack of satisfaction, sexual dysfunction, risky sexual behaviors and victimization. This appears to be more marked for females

@lucykhobbs Sorry to hear this Lucy. How quickly people forget to “be be kind”

[Professor Susan Young @DrSusanYoung1]

@BBCPanorama is right. There’s some bad practice in diagnosis of #ADHD. @NICEComms state diagnosis can be made by psychiatrist or qualified clinician. So clinical psychologists can diagnose. Educational & occupational psychologists can not as they dont have any clinical training
