Secondary data analysis reveals low ADHD treatment rates in adults compared to children and adolescents, indicating a need for improved care.
This secondary data analysis characterizes the care of ADHD in Germany. In 2023, the administrative prevalence was much lower in adults than in children and adolescents.
