, Introduction

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that

has garnered significant attention in recent years due to the escalating prevalence of diagnoses.

This commentary aims to delve into the underlying trends contributing to the surge in ADHD

diagnoses, explore the potential overdiagnosis of the disorder, and elucidate the consequences for

individuals and society at large. By examining the multifaceted nature of ADHD diagnosis, we

can gain valuable insights into the challenges it poses and the opportunities it presents for

improving our approach to this complex issue.

I. The Escalating Rates of ADHD Diagnoses

ADHD diagnoses have witnessed a remarkable upswing in recent times, not only in the

United States but also across the globe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), in 2016, approximately 6.1 million children in the U.S. had been diagnosed

with ADHD (Visser et al., 2019). This upward trajectory is not limited to the U.S. alone;

similar trends are observed in many other countries as well (Sayal et al., 2018).

Several key factors contribute to the burgeoning number of ADHD diagnoses:

1. Enhanced Awareness and Knowledge: The heightened awareness of

ADHD among parents, educators, and healthcare professionals has led to more individuals

seeking

assessments and diagnoses. Educational campaigns and public awareness initiatives have played

a pivotal role in making people more cognizant of the disorder's symptoms and potential

consequences.

2. Expanding Diagnostic Criteria: Changes in the diagnostic criteria,

particularly with the release of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
