adhd information

ADHD is the most common psychological disorder in children. About 8% of children 4 to 17 years are diagnosed with ADHD. Estimates of the male-to-female ratio range from 2-10 to 1 depending on the survey method used. About 40-60% of these children will continue to have difficulty with inattention and impulsive behavior during adulthood. Adults with ADHD have a 5 times greater risk of substance abuse, 9 times greater risk of incarceration, and 20 times greater risk of antisocial personality disorder. There are three main subtypes of ADHD: inattentive, in which the patient may be unable to sustain attention and is easily distracted; hyperactive-impulsive, in which the patient exhibits excessive activity and acts without considering possible consequences; combined, in which the patient has difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, and impulse control.
