Oh well, when it comes to ADHD experts, what that actually means is ADHD-believers stuck in their tunnels of interpreting in terms of neurological developmental deficit. Let’s hear the opinions of those who are not „experts“ but know (neuro)psychology really well, i.e. are not biased like the ‚experts‘.
Edit: instead of the instant down-vote, maybe do some critical thinking yourself.

In my layman’s opinion…diagnoses are going to increase dramatically worldwide anyways because 1) people are more willing to get treated for it, and 2) there is information overload in the school, workplace, and personal life with all the apps, messenging, doom scrolling, email, streamkng etc…. it’s a worsening environment for folks with ADHD not to mention depression and anxiety.

I don’t think ADHD is overdiagnosed. The amount of self diagnosis is the main problem tho and it’s not only ADHD

I think the internet is creating more ADHD cases. There’s a bottomless demand for cognitive steroids that are often used to treat ADHD, in a similar way to how there’s a bottomless demand for weight-loss drugs that are often used to treat obesity.

There’s a lot of catching up happening right now with older people being diagnosed with ADHD after having struggled for many, many years. And girls are being diagnosed now that they finally figured out that ADHD isn’t just for boys.

My guess is the schools and the healthcare system has become better at identifying when kids have problems in school.
When I was a kid, those annoying brats were put in a corner until they learned how to behave like normal kids.
Now the system understands there is something underneath, and it’s actually treatable.
My oldest daughter have ADHD. She is like night and day on/off medicine.
After she got her diagnosis, I realized there might have been something off with me all along. I always felt different and felt like all tasks were alot harder for me, than for everyone else.
It was always a super long and hard process everytime I had to initiate a new task, wether it was family related or at work.
I went to the doctor, filled out a form, spoke to a psychiatrist and found out why.
I have ADD… With meds, all those walls, rivers and hills I had to cross, pass or climb to initiate anything dissapeared.
