ADHD prescriptions in the NHS are skyrocketing—with nearly a third more people getting medication last year, totaling 427,000, triple what it was a decade ago. Adults are driving the surge (up 40% to 267,000), followed by kids (up 18% to 160,000). Experts warn of the “medicalization of distress,” as normal human behavior gets labeled as disorders needing drugs. Alarm bells are ringing over potential risks, including undiagnosed heart conditions linked to a tragic death. The government is now reviewing ADHD, autism, and mental health services to understand why demand is exploding—and whether the system itself is fueling the need.
