Globalization of ADHD and the rise of cognitive enhancement have raised fresh concerns about the validity of ADHD diagnosis and the ethics of stimulant drug treatment. We review the literature on these two emerging phenomena, with a focus on the corresponding social, scientific and ethical debates over the universality of ADHD and the use of stimulant drug treatments in a global population of children and adolescents. Drawing on this literature, we reflect on the importance of ethically informed, ecologically sensitive clinical practices in relation to ADHD diagnosis and treatment.
ADHD 的全球化和认知增强的兴起引发了人们对 ADHD 诊断的有效性和兴奋剂药物治疗的伦理问题的新关注。我们回顾了关于这两个新兴现象的文献，重点讨论了关于 ADHD 的普遍性和在全球儿童和青少年人群中使用兴奋剂药物治疗的相应社会、科学和伦理争论。借鉴这些文献，我们反思了与 ADHD 诊断和治疗相关的具有伦理意识、生态敏感的临床实践的重要性。
