I think that are great news! Given that the number of kids, that have ADHD is consistent, increasing diagnosisses mean, more kids are understood and hopefully get the needed support to become or stay happy and healthy.

I agree and maybe this will lead to more support both in the schools and in the mental health community/medical so they can provide better service.
