00:00Questions are being raised about new findings regarding a rising number of people seeking an ADHD diagnosis but not going
00:07on to treatment.
00:08Experts say research is needed as concerns grow about the quality and regulation of private assessments too.
00:15One psychiatrist says half of children diagnosed in his services did not pursue treatment, with a similar pattern among some
00:22adults.
00:23But clinicians stress ADHD remains a recognised condition, and worn poor assessments can create stigma for people who have it.
00:31The debate comes as Channel 4 airs a documentary questioning how ADHD is understood and treated.
00:38Supporters say it raises important questions, but others say it's framing risks undermining people with the condition.
