Henry Shelford, CEO and Co-Founder of ADHD UK provided comment for the article.
“Finley’s story is devastating on so many levels – for Finley, for his friends and family and because agonisingly his story is not unique. Loss of life from ADHD happens across the UK regularly.
We speak to the parents. We see the funeral donations. Our own experience is backed up by large-scale research that shows that one in 10 men or boys with ADHD and one in four women or girls with ADHD will at some point try to take their own lives.
So many don’t know how tough ADHD is or the support that is needed. But we also know that people with ADHD can be incredible – be leaders, pioneers, entrepreneurs, and at the top of any field.
We applaud Erica’s bravery in speaking out. We need to stop people from losing their lives to ADHD and instead help everyone with ADHD thrive.”
