ADHD and the Army

We asked the Ministry of Defence for some information about the Army and ADHD

In the past 12 months how many ADHD Asessments has the Army undertaken? (1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022)

In the past 3 years years how many ADHD Assessments has the Army undertaken? (1 April 2019 to 31 March 2022)

Of those people [assessed in the last year] how many
were medically discharged within 12 months of receiving an ADHD diagnosis?

• Of the 61 Army personnel who had a first appointment at a DCMH for ADHD between April 2019 and March 2022, five were subsequently medically discharged. Of which fewer than 5 were medically discharged within a year of the first appointment.
• Please note, ADHD may not have been listed as a principal or contributory cause of the subsequent medical discharge and it may have been for an unrelated condition.
