Incredibly low like zero percent. These people are reacting to some form of metal illness, desire to be noticed, depression, lack of self-esteem, etc. Not surprisingly also the reasons why this supposed "group" has high rates of suicide, which only gets worse now that they are medicated instead of given counseling.

Have you noticed that liberals love every issue that they can medicate? They loved medicating school children they did not want to give assistance to for like a decade. They did stop but have you ever hear them take responsibility for this reckless behavior? Exactly. Same reason when this fad blows over and they realize the same thing that medicating these at risk people was not the solution.

The medicating kids thing hasn't stopped, at least not in my neck of the woods. I have a close acquaintance whose five-year-old is taking Adderall because his teacher was annoyed at their rowdiness and the mom is like "well the doctor says it's fine so I guess it's okay even though I don't think they really need it..."

It makes money, screws up the neurochemistry of young people, and is an easy fix for lazy parents, so I doubt the practice will stop any time soon.
