Question
hi. i am working on a research project for my psychology class at school and i was wondering if you knew anything about the rates of people diagnosed around the world, not just in the US or popular countries. what about places like China, or Russia? are the rates of people diagnosed majorly different? and are there assumed reasons for such rate differences?
thanks a lot.

Answer
Hi

All our information is freely available on the site which you are welcome to use providing it remains intact and accredited to adders.org

I am afraid we have so many requests from students that we are unable to deal with all of them so am afraid if anyone wishes for us to put them in contact with other parents etc we are not able to do this due to the amount of work it would involve - we already receive around 1000 emails per day mainly from parents or adults with ADHD so I am afraid these have to take priority and it is therefore impossible for us to grant such requests.

Take care,
