    Yes, I heard we’re way better at diagnosing adult ADHD these days. People just had to somehow cope on their own, two decades ago. They didn’t get a diagnose, let alone medication, back then…

    (It’s just scientific progress, though. And attention to detail, like how things affect different groups of people differently (ie. different symptoms for men/women). I don’t see how it’s “Not the Onion”?!)

    Can someone explain me why this has so many downvotes? Is it bad experiences with medication? Is it something based in science? Something not related to the content of the article?

      It’s kind of a fairly standard headline, nothing really absurdist, or “weird” about it is why, at least to my reading. A lot of submitted ones do kinda teeter the line of being a little too standard, but this one is just a fairly straightforward headline about a prescription drug getting prescribed more because of the adult population.

      Interesting info, just not really on-theme, that’s all
