Psychiatry UK, ADHD Awareness Month 2022
- The aim
- Psychiatry UK wanted to raise awareness of ADHD, its symptoms and the treatment available.
- The message
- Most adults with ADHD are undiagnosed, and the stigma attached to it causes problems at school, at work and in relationships.
- The angle
- ADHD Awareness Month and the myths that stop people getting diagnosed, such as the ideas that it only affects children or is caused by poor parenting. An estimated 2.6 million people in the UK could have ADHD, and many women and girls go undiagnosed because they do not show the typical signs.
- On air
- A psychiatrist from Psychiatry UK and a married couple both recently diagnosed with ADHD
- The result
- 10 items of coverage reaching 2.9 million, including Radio News Hub, London Live, That's TV - York, BBC Radio Lancashire.
