Elisabeth d'Ornano Association

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) begins to manifest itself in childhood, and in some 30 to 65% of people it lasts through adolescence into adulthood.

In those who suffer from it, apart from the distress caused by its own symptoms, the disorder causes problems in interpersonal relationships, problems in being accepted by others, an increased risk of starting and continuing the consumption of toxic substances, a greater predisposition to suffering from some form of psychopathology in the future, a greater frequency of failing out of school, of exposure to risk, of difficulties in maintaining a job, etc.

The Elisabeth d'Ornano Association has been established with the aim of improving educational and clinical care to patients with ADHD.

The Association was created to try to help many more children have an accurate diagnosis as early as possible aiming to develop an infrastructure of research and support for people with ADHD and their families in order to improve their personal development and knowledge about the disorder .It also aims to make biological environmental and educational interventions available.

The association is a new project focused on Spanish territory. The Association also wants to create a dynamic information flow with other countries. If you are interested in sharing knowledge or your experiences with us, please send us a mail to: equipomedico@elisabethornano.org
