Research has found an increase in the number of children that have been diagnoses with ADHD in the US, and they believe that it's because of better screening and diagnosis: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40113826/ns/health-kids_and_parenting/ [2].

Do you think that is the reason or is something else going on?
