Surprising findings about ADHD may help girls who are struggling

  • From 1980 to 2020, the share of male teachers in elementary and middle schools declined from 40% to less than 20%, which coincided with rising ADHD diagnoses among boys, with over 21% of 14-year-old boys diagnosed with the condition.
  • Between 2012 and 2022, prescriptions for stimulant medications to treat ADHD rose nearly 60%, particularly among boys aged 10 to 14, who had the highest increase in prescriptions.
  • Research shows that while stimulant medications initially improve behavior, by 36 months, individuals may display similar symptoms to those not medicated, indicating fluctuations in ADHD symptoms over time.
  • Many children improve their focus and behavior in engaging environments, suggesting that ADHD may stem from environmental mismatches rather than solely being a disorder.
