“Public perception of mental health has experienced a shift in recent years, thanks in part to public figures, like Olympian gymnast Simone Biles, who stepped away from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics for her mental health. Biles’ public display of self-care certainly prompted acknowledgment and conversations of the importance of mental health.
Mental health conditions are complex, and rarely travel alone. Among the diversity of mental health conditions, one of the most diagnosed across age and gender is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). About half to a staggering 90 per cent of all children diagnosed with ADHD have a secondary condition, and 85 per cent of adults, have a pre-existing mental health condition at diagnosis. Sometimes, ADHD can present alongside more serious issues that can disrupt daily life and affect long-term wellbeing.”
