Doctors diagnose patients with these problems a bit to generously these days , when it normally comes under depression or some other underlying problem that can be solved in counselling.
If there were more resources for diagnosis, it would be more.
There are a lot of people like me who thought that having ADHD symptoms for years was just how life was or who they were, but who now realize that their brains actually function differently from most people’s.
Adhd has become the newest trend with the younger generation. According to tiktok, every normal human behaviour means you have adhd, and people love to be different
From the [ADHD UK](https://adhduk.co.uk/about-adhd/) website:
*The same study estimated prevalence of adult ADHD at 4.4%. [The American Journal of Psychiatry]. The UK Nice guidelines provide for an adult incidence rate of between 3 and 4%. In our population estimate we use the mid-point number of 3.5%.*
This seven-fold increase is a correction to underdiagnosis and should be welcomed. ADHD UK estimates that 2m people in the UK remain undiagnosed.
