Why does ADHD receive more public attention than other common problems such as childhood depression and childh

because there are pills that exist, pills make money, scare parents, parents buy pills, pills make money, money buys air time on 6pm news. news scares parent to buy pills.

School Board are the one who's concern about this thing because, their concern about the out come of the result the CAT Test. it is hard to handle kids who has this symptoms.

cuz it's the in thing.

Probably because ADHD has more vocal lobby groups, and it seems to be a catch-all for misbehaving kids. if parents can find a 'cause' for their noisy and disobedient kids, wouldn't that be more desirable than having people simply say their kids are badly brought up? Not saying that ADHD isn't a real problem - some kids really do need help for it - but that ADHD's draw factors are more compelling than those of depression and anxiety.

Also, the fact that kids are sometimes prescribed drugs for ADHD instantly gives it controversy. Most kids who suffer from depression and anxiety are given counselling over drugs, so less controversy there.

Plus, having it on Desperate Housewives definitely gave it even more attention!
