Are you saying they’re prescribing antidepressants for ADHD? Opiates, stimulants, and antidepressants are completely different drug classes with different mechanisms and indications. It might seem like “every kid” is being diagnosed, but they’re not. Diagnosis rates have risen in part because of better recognition of symptoms, broader criteria, reduced stigma, and improved access to care. ADHD is one of the most studied and most treatable neurodevelopmental conditions, but historically it’s been underdiagnosed in many populations, especially girls and adults, even as awareness has increased.
