Okay. Well the good thing about science is there’s lots of correlation figures you can go check out at any time instead.
But there are some more simple ways to see it like how obviously no one was known to have ADHD before it was identified. And how more people have it as it’s definition continues evolving to be more detailed and broad. That’s normal behaviour for conditions in medical science. We must know of its existence before anyone can have it; more people tend to have it as our understanding of the thing improves by leaps and bounds.
I’d maybe agree if we’d be talking about depression or anxiety, which you can get during your lifetime, but ADHD (or autism) is just the way your brain is wired and can’t be “healed” like some other mental illnesses
This reads like there’s more people with ADHD than there were in earlier times (which we don’t know).
Testing just got a lot better than it was
Yep, “classification”.
The proportion will always be the same whether classified or not.
Actually I think there is way more people with mental issues now. I don’t think it’s just the testing. It’s easy to spot them anyways.
There’s nothing to indicate that’s true. If anything, the leaps in medical science have increased the likelihood of being born “normal”.
It also means we have identified or created many “issues” and continue to increase how well they’re diagnosed. Everyone’s got multiple things now.
No I still highly disagree. I have my own observations and I even asked people from multiple countries about this.

I was talking about both healable and persistent “issues”.
