More people are trying to get help from the NHS because they think they might have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It's a lifelong condition with symptoms including inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. But waiting times for an ADHD assessment on the NHS have risen, in some areas, to more than five years.
In this episode of 5 Minutes On, ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Rory Carson goes undercover for Panorama to investigate how some private clinics in the UK are diagnosing ADHD.
There's more on this story in the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Panorama documentary 'Private ADHD Clinics Exposed' on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ iPlayer.
