Which is why I think the moral panic about ADHD overdiagnosis in the USA is nonsense. The US is a country founded on stimulants; I hypothesize that behavioral norms and benchmarks for success in the United States have been influenced by heavy nicotine use from upward of 40% of adult Americans prior to the tobacco control movement, and that the increased diagnosis of ADHD in teens and young adults now may be due to lower nicotine use. I've been looking for a while for any scholarly (peer reviewed) papers that explore this idea; if anyone knows of any, I'd love to read them!
