Fact: ADHD diagnosis is on the rise

ADHD is one of the most prevalent psychiatric illnesses of young people in America.
A recent study showed that ADHD diagnosis has gone up 43 percent from 2003 to 2011.
The study was not designed to look at the underlying reasons for such changes in prevalence, however it could be the result of a tendency to over-diagnose the situation.
“There has definitely been an upward trend in diagnosed ADHD cases. If the condition is over-diagnosed and the stimulant to correct the condition is taken casually, then treatment won’t be durable and it could ignore other problems in their environment that are the actual stressors, like: internal worries, home conflicts and learning disorders.” -Cabrera.
