ADHD in kids jumps 24 percent in a decade, study shows


ADHD in kids jumps 24 percent in a decade, study shows

In just 10 years the number of children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, rose dramatically, a  large new study suggests.
----
The biggest factor driving this increase may be the heightened awareness of ADHD among parents, teachers, and pediatricians, says the study’s lead author Dr. Darios Getahun, a scientist with Kaiser Permanente. For kids who need help, that’s a good thing, Getahun says.

Note: An even bigger factor is that there is a ton of money to be made off of these kids.
