Implication

Temporal trends analysis shows increased ADHD incidence and prescribing in children during COVID-19, highlighting disparities by ethnicity and social deprivation.

Key Points

ADHD incidence and medication prescribing rates increased significantly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Female patients experienced a much higher rate of increase, particularly Asian females, whose post-pandemic rates were seven times those pre-pandemic.
Medication prescribing rates were 90% higher for Asian females compared to White females, indicating ethnic disparities.
Differences in ADHD symptoms presentation suggest a need for culturally informed diagnoses and support services.
