Description
Samuele Cortese leads a 2026 analysis of the Global Burden of Disease 2021 data on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in people under twenty across 204 countries, covering three decades. New cases, total cases, and years of life lived with disability were estimated from 1990 to 2021.
In 2021 the condition affected an estimated forty-seven million young people worldwide, with a global prevalence near two percent. Rates ran highest in Australia and were higher in boys than girls and in richer regions. Overall rates eased slightly since 1990. Policymakers get the most complete country-by-country picture available for planning child mental health services.
