Government review warns of ADHD and autism overdiagnosis
An official review in England highlights the risk of over-diagnosis of ADHD and autism, amid rising diagnoses over the past 25 years. The report calls for stricter regulation of private assessment firms, better support systems, and shorter waiting times for diagnosis, emphasizing that delayed assessments harm young people's education, employment prospects, and mental health. It also warns that diagnosis should not be the only pathway to accessing support and stresses the importance of addressing societal and systemic issues contributing to mental health challenges.
