Abstract in brief

  • ADHD is a common developmental disorder affecting up to 5% of children and adults, but it is often underdiagnosed, especially in European countries, due to complex access to care.
  • Primary care practitioners are usually the first point of contact for those with ADHD and play a key role in diagnosis and referral, but barriers such as misconceptions, lack of education, and limited resources hinder recognition and treatment.
  • The review identified four main themes impacting ADHD recognition in primary care: the need for better education, misconceptions and stigma, constraints in managing and diagnosing ADHD, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, highlighting that improved education for healthcare providers could enhance diagnosis and care.]
