This caught my attention. I don't know how accurate these figures are. Not without access to the original research to assess it. But if these are in any way close, then bloody hell. I've always been of the opinion that the majority of adults weren't diagnosed in one way or another. But these sorts of figures were surprising. In any case, it is good to see something like this in mainstream media and the consequences of it, being discussed.

This is however a good story to have out. All the "epidemic" talk is very concerning. (not because of there being an epidemic but the way some people seem to respond and the ways it drives them to make up reasons and plot "cures")
