ADHD is not a mental health condition. However, children and young people with ADHD may need support with their emotional health just like others do.
It is estimated that emotional dysregulation affects around 1 in 3 children with ADHD. Children and young people with ADHD may therefore need additional support to manage their emotional wellbeing, and people with ADHD can be more likely to experience mental health difficulties such as anxiety.
