INTRODUCTION: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a pathology characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity and is the most common neurobehavioral disorder among individuals aged six to seventeen years. The present work aims to report the experience of medical students in a health education activity about ADHD. EXPERIENCE REPORT: The activity was able to provide the participating students with the experience of being part of a very enriching face-to-face action made possible according to the security measures required during the COVID-19 pandemic period. DISCUSSION: In view of the completion of all the steps proposed in this health education action, the importance and need to deepen the knowledge of medical students on topics involving mental health is even more undoubted. Undoubtedly, the commitment of all the students involved in the action, linked to a previous organization, was essential for the event to occur without major problems. The help of private companies in health education projects is shown to be categorical and useful since they play an important role of social responsibility towards the population in general. CONCLUSION: The project in question was very positive for medical students, since it was possible not only to disseminate information to the population about a prevalent and still stereotyped topic in our society, but also to provide educational and integrative practice, enabling an immersion in this topic in mental health.
