1 in 4 American adults suspect they have undiagnosed ADHD, new data shows

Only 4.4% of adults actually have the disorder, but far more are misdiagnosing themselves.

The growing awareness of differences in learning abilities means that more people can understand, manage, and seek treatment for a variety of conditions. But, as an increasing number of people view and relate to content online, it appears to have led to a lot of self-diagnosis.
