Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, activity levels, and impulse control.

In Ireland, ADHD is recognised as a medical and psychological condition and is diagnosed using internationally accepted clinical standards.

It is not a behavioural problem or a personality trait — it is a brain-based condition that affects how people process information, manage focus, regulate emotions, and control impulses.

Irish references:

  • HSE (Health Service Executive)

ADHD symptoms typically fall into three core areas:

Inattention

  • – Difficulty focusing
  • – Poor concentration
  • – Forgetfulness
  • – Disorganisation
  • – Struggling to complete tasks
  • – Easily distracted

Hyperactivity

  • – Restlessness
  • – Constant movement or fidgeting
  • – Feeling internally “driven”
  • – Difficulty relaxing
  • – Feeling mentally overactive

Impulsivity

  • – Acting without thinking
  • – Interrupting others
  • – Difficulty waiting
  • – Making quick decisions without considering consequences
  • – Emotional impulsivity

In adults, hyperactivity often appears as mental restlessness, racing thoughts, and internal pressure, rather than physical hyperactivity.

Important: ADHD symptoms must be persistent, impair daily functioning, and be present across multiple areas of life(e.g. work, home, education, relationships) to meet diagnostic criteria in Ireland.

ADHD does not have a single cause. Research shows it is mainly influenced by genetic and neurological factors.

Contributing factors include:

  • – Genetics (ADHD commonly runs in families)
  • – Brain development differences
  • – Neurotransmitter regulation differences (dopamine and noradrenaline)
  • – Prenatal factors (e.g. pregnancy complications, exposure to substances)
  • – Early developmental influences

ADHD is not caused by:

  • – Poor parenting
  • – Diet
  • – Screen time
  • – Lack of discipline
  • – Trauma alone

These factors may worsen symptoms, but they do not cause ADHD itself.

Irish clinical position: ADHD is recognised as a biological neurodevelopmental condition, not a behavioural choice or lifestyle issue.

No. ADHD affects both children and adults.

Many people in Ireland reach adulthood without being diagnosed, especially those who:

  • – Did well academically
  • – Masked symptoms
  • – Were labelled as “lazy”, “disorganised”, or “anxious”
  • – Developed coping strategies
  • – Were misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression

Adult ADHD is formally recognised in Irish healthcare services and by:

  • – HSE
  • – Irish psychiatrists
  • – Medical Council of Ireland
  • – DSM-5-TR diagnostic standards

ADHD is now widely understood as a lifelong condition, not something that only affects children.

Everyone gets distracted sometimes — ADHD is different because it is:

✔ Persistent

✔ Neurological

✔ Present across settings

✔ Functionally impairing

✔ Not situational

✔ Not willpower-based

ADHD affects:

  • – Executive function
  • – Time perception
  • – Working memory
  • – Task initiation
  • – Emotional regulation
  • – Impulse control
  • – Motivation pathways in the brain

A person with ADHD isn’t just distracted — their brain processes attention, motivation, and focus differently at a biological level.

Yes — in Ireland, ADHD can be legally recognised as a disability under the Equal Status Acts and Employment Equality Acts, when it substantially impacts daily functioning.

This means individuals with ADHD may be entitled to:

  • – Workplace accommodations
  • – Educational supports
  • – Reasonable adjustments
  • – Legal protections against discrimination

However, ADHD is also understood as a neurodevelopmental difference, and many people view it through a neurodiversity model, recognising both challenges and strengths.

Important distinction:

ADHD can be a legal disability, a medical diagnosis, and a neurodivergent condition — these are not mutually exclusive.
