study-linked ADHD Diagnosis, Treatment, and Telehealth Use in Adults — National Center for Health Statistics Rapid Surveys System, United States, October–November 2023
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7340a1.htmADHD is a prevalent disorder that often persists into adulthood, but research on its diagnosis and treatment in adults is limited. In 2023, an estimated 15.5 million U.S. adults had an ADHD diagnosis, with about half receiving their diagnosis in adulthood. One-third of adults with ADHD use stimulant medications, but over 70% reported difficulty obtaining them due to shortages. Additionally, about half of adults with ADHD have used telehealth for ADHD-related services.
These findings highlight the significant impact of ADHD on adults and emphasize the need for improved clinical care guidelines, solutions for medication shortages, and expanded access to telehealth services to address treatment challenges.
