ADHD diagnoses are on the rise. A new CDC study says attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is becoming an “expanding public health concern.” About one in nine American children were diagnosed with ADHD in 2022. That’s about seven-million — one million more than the number of children diagnosed with ADHD in 2016. The study’s authors acknowledged that the increase could be attributed to the public becoming more aware of the disorder and more often seeking care for it. Or, it said, it could be a result of children’s development during the COVID-19 pandemic.
