SpringerBriefs in Modern Perspectives on Disability Research: Disability, Mental Health, and Social Impacts

Ayano, Getinet; Alati, Rosa; Rooney, Rosanna; Pollard, Christina M.

This book explores ADHD from a public health, mental health, and disability perspective, examining its impacts across the lifespan—from childhood through adulthood. This book addresses ADHD’s classification as a disability, its mental health comorbidities, suicide risk, and the social challenges faced in educational and workplace environments. Additionally, it discusses how factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic status influence ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

This book serves as a bridge between current research and public health policy, providing readers with an understanding of ADHD’s lifelong implications and strategies for intervention and advocacy. This book is particularly timely given the increasing recognition of ADHD as both a mental health issue and a disability.
