Abstract
[Extract] The prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children has been rising for several decades, including in countries with previously low rates. In Germany, for example, the prevalence of ADHD in children rose by 77% over 10 years, from 2.2% in 2004 to 3.8% in 2013. Enhanced awareness of mental wellbeing and neurodiversity during the covid-19 pandemic has led to a change in public discourse around ADHD.
