联合王国的一项研究发现,尽管认识和准入障碍不断提高,但ADDHD很可能诊断不足,而不是诊断过度。 A UK study finds ADHD is likely underdiagnosed, not overdiagnosed, despite growing awareness and access barriers.

32名专家对联合王国进行的一项新研究发现,没有证据表明DADHD被过度诊断,因此表明它可能诊断不足,诊断率低于儿童和成人的估计流行率。 A new UK study by 32 experts finds no evidence that ADHD is overdiagnosed, suggesting instead it may be underdiagnosed, with diagnosis rates below estimated prevalence in children and adults. 诊断呈上升趋势的原因是认识提高,而不是诊断过度,但由于等待时间过长和支持不足,许多人仍面临护理障碍。 Rising diagnoses are attributed to greater awareness, not overdiagnosis, but many still face barriers to care due to long wait times and insufficient support. 专家警告说,关于过度诊断的危言耸听者说法可以防止适当治疗,增加药物滥用、事故和自杀的风险。 Experts warn that alarmist claims about overdiagnosis could prevent proper treatment, increasing risks of substance misuse, accidents, and suicide. 联合王国政府启动了对ADHD、自闭症和精神保健服务的审查,以改善获得准确诊断和有效支持的机会。 The UK government has launched a review of ADHD, autism, and mental health services to improve access to accurate diagnosis and effective support.
