Rising Rates of Diagnosis
ADD / ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood. The number of children in North America diagnosed with this disorder has skyrocketed in the last 30 years (skyrocketing means in the thousands of %).
The number of adults being diagnosed has increased dramatically also. The rise in some parts of the world has not been nearly as alarming as in North America which begs the question – why is that ?
Answering this question has been the subject of innumerable studies and debates but to date no one has been able to give a definitive answer.
