More than 12,000 adults in Scotland are now receiving ADHD medication through the NHS.
The symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder include a difficulty concentrating and focusing, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
Ms Carrera said she struggled to do household tasks, would put off doing things and was not good at time management. "It's become easier for me to to regulate what I pay attention to, I feel a lot less tired, I guess my brain isn't struggling as much and I feel like I can finish a thought, it's a lot more orderly," she said.Data obtained from Public Health Scotland under freedom of information laws show that almost 26,000 NHS patients were prescribed ADHD drugs in 2022/23.
Dr Pavan Srireddy, a consultant psychiatrist and policy lead at the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland, said the figures were "extremely worrying"."It is not possible for an existing service to have an increase in referrals of over 500% for a condition and still be able to provide a safe and effective service without an increase in resources.
Ashley Hope, a co-founder of ADHD support group Dopamine Dolls, said that the lockdowns and working from home had a huge impact on ADHD symptoms and may help explain the rise."Some other members have also noted maternity leave, long periods of unemployment and retirement as times when their ADHD symptoms have become more apparent too.
