Special Report: The Soaring Cost of ADHD Care

A detailed report on the out-of-pocket costs ADDitude readers are paying for ADHD care, and how they’ve grown since 2016.

Ongoing ADHD care costs thousands of dollars each year, according to ADDitude readers who report paying unsustainable out-of-pocket costs and employing extreme measures just to stay afloat.

Rising costs are causing people to ration medication, delay or skip medical appointments, and forego helpful interventions, according to a new ADDitude magazine survey. Of the 1,790 survey respondents, about 25 percent cited out-of-pocket medical costs as a limiting or determining factor in accessing ADHD care; 21 percent said ongoing care is not covered by their insurance; and 16 percent said their ADHD medication costs are not covered at all.
