1 in 9 U.S. Children Diagnosed with ADHD, CDC Reports
TL;DR Summary
A CDC study reveals that ADHD diagnoses in U.S. children have risen significantly, with about 7 million children diagnosed in 2022, up by 1 million since 2016. The increase may be due to greater public awareness and the impact of COVID-19-related stressors. The study also found rising ADHD diagnoses among girls and teens, with lower rates among Asian and Hispanic children. The findings aim to guide clinicians, policymakers, and healthcare systems in addressing the growing public health concern.
