Why it is in the toolbox

NIMH's plain-language guide to what ADHD is, how it is diagnosed and what kinds of support exist, with links to current research.

We point to it because it helps — we do not run it, sell it or earn from the link.

This toolbox is for information and everyday support, not medical advice. If ADHD is affecting your life, a doctor or a qualified clinician can help.
