More doctors to be trained to diagnose ADHD

In South Australia, 100 additional GPs are set to receive training to diagnose ADHD, a move aimed at reducing the financial burden on families and alleviating the strain on the healthcare system. By enabling more general practitioners to identify ADHD, the initiative promises quicker and more accessible diagnoses, which is crucial given the often lengthy wait times for specialist consultations. This expansion in diagnostic capacity underscores a broader effort to improve mental health care and support for those affected by ADHD.
