ADHD Education Resources
Introduction
Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex neurological condition. Although there has been a rise in social media content about ADHD, it is important to learn about ADHD from credible sources. In this article, I am going to share why learning about ADHD from credible sources is important and where you can go to learn about ADHD for yourself.
Why Learning About ADHD is Important?
ADHD is complex! Although a lot of research has been done over the last two decades, there is still much we do not know. There is still no single definitive test for ADHD (CDC). Despite how much we do not know, there are tons of videos on social media on the topic. Although some of the videos are good and provide valuable information, they are not reviewed for credibility. As a result, many people are misinformed. For example, many people still believe that children outgrow ADHD, when in fact, plenty of people have adult ADHD. It is important to be well educated from credible sources.

A few places to begin learning about ADHD are below:
