Abstract in brief
- The review highlights that GPs, as gatekeepers to ADHD diagnosis and treatment, often have mixed or unhelpful attitudes about ADHD, including doubts about its validity, medication use, and the influence of parenting, partly due to limited training.
- There are few studies specifically exploring GPs' knowledge and attitudes toward ADHD, mainly from the UK, Europe, and Australia, and the existing research shows variability in their recognition and management of ADHD.
- Overall, GPs frequently face challenges such as stigma, medicalisation debates, and misconceptions, which can hinder timely diagnosis and referral, emphasizing the need for better training and resources for primary care providers.
