According to a new study, more than 11% of US kids were identified with ADHD in 2022, demonstrating an alarming increase in these diagnoses.

According to the research carried out by statistician Melissa Danielson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and published on May 22 in the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, one in nine US kids between the ages of three and seventeen noticed an ADHD diagnosis in 2022.

The study indicates that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, has been defined by "symptoms of neglect and/or impulsive or hyper, functional degradation in numerous scenarios, and first variables by age 12."

Researchers described the increased diagnostic rate as a "growing health care concern."

The National Health Interview Survey data from 2015–2016 demonstrate that the number of ADHD diagnoses grew by 10.2% in 2018. By 2022, one in nine kids in the US, or 11.4% of the population between the ages of three and seventeen, might receive an ADHD diagnosis, according to the current research.

The study's main discovery was that boys were "more likely" than girls to have ADHD. According to the study, "Girls were more likely than boys to experience anxiety or depression, while boys were more likely to exhibit behavioral or conduct issues or ASD."

The increase in diagnoses was ascribed by the researchers to both "poor mental health among those with ADHD" and "generally increasing awareness and pursuit of care for ADHD."

The way that ADHD is seen by the general public has changed, which may lessen the stigma attached to getting mental health treatment. The study made the case for the potential benefits of more frequent ADHD screening.

A "pre-existing trend of rising depression and anxiety in children and adolescents before the pandemic" was also identified in the study, and this might result in an increase in the number of ADHD diagnoses.

Fewer kids are getting behavioral therapy or medication for ADHD in spite of these changes. According to the report, in 2022, 30.1% of children with ADHD were not receiving treatment, up from 23% in 2016.

The Quran - Chapter An-Najm : 13 - 14

And he certainly saw that ˹angel descend˺ a second time

at the Lote Tree of the most extreme limit ˹in the seventh heaven˺—

ولَقَدْ رَ‌آهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَ‌ىٰ عِندَ سِدْرَ‌ةِ الْمُنتَهَىٰ (And indeed he saw him another time by sidrat-ul-muntaha [ the lote-tree in the upper realm ]...53:13-14). Here too there are two views regarding the antecedent of the pronoun hu (him):

[ 1] that it refers to seeing Allah; or

[ 2] that it refers to seeing Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) . The adverb نَزْلَةً أُخْرَ‌ىٰ nazlatan ` ukhra [ another time or at another descent ], according to overwhelming majority, this nuzul refers to the second descent of Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) .

The first vision was experienced in this world on the uppermost horizon of Makkah. The second vision was experienced on the seventh heaven near the Lote-Tree of the Uppermost Realm.

Obviously, the Holy Prophet ﷺ went up to the seventh heaven on the Night of Mi` raj. Thus it is possible to determine the approximate time of the second experience, which took place on that occasion.

The word sidrah literally denotes lote-tree and muntaha means the place of intiha' [ end ]. Thus sidrat-ul-muntaha is the Lote-Tree on the seventh heaven under the Throne of the Gracious Allah.

According to a narration in Muslim, the Tree is on the sixth heaven. Reconciliation is possible between the two apparently conflicting versions in that its root is on the sixth heaven and its branches are spread on the seventh heaven (Qurtubi).

Generally the access of angels ends at this point, and therefore, it is called muntaha (the end). Some Traditions inform us that the Divine injunctions first descend from the Divine

Throne to the sidrat-ul-muntaha which are handed over to the relevant angels. Similarly, angels going up from the earth to the heaven with Books of Deeds etc. convey them to this point.

Then there may be some other way for their presentation to Allah Almighty. This subject is reported from ` Abdullah Ibn Masud ؓ as recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad.
