What used to be a naughty child who got a smack is now a kid with ADHD who needs Ritalin. 'Disorders' are a joke in my opinion, the overdiagnosis and a name for every condition game is getting more and more absurd. It makes it harder for people who do genuinely need help to get it because the waiting lists are clogged with these Pseudo-Illnesses. It's like stuffing everyone with a common cold onto the Lung Cancer waiting list for a transplant. However, it is good that diagnosing a Mental Illness has become easier for doctors and that society is not so prejudiced against people who are ill. It's like how depression rates in women are 3 to 4 times higher than in men, possibly because of a predisposition or more likely because men are expected to buck it up and carry on. More men are going to the doctor about it and so people who used to suffer in silence are now seeking help. Now there are genuine cases of ADHD and Dyslexia/Dyspraxia which do need treating/assistance but they are far less common than the large number of those diagnosed. Another point i'd put in would be the rapidly changing world, people use more computers and mobiles and the absurd amount of pressure to succeed from schools cannot be doing children any good, so it could be that rates genuinely are increasing and there needs to be a serious look at the way the world works because what happens if 20% of the population end up incapacitated by mental illness, then another 20% are OAPs and there becomes a diminishing amount of functioning humans left to take care of everyone else.
