Happy October 1st!
To kick-off awareness month, here are some important statistics:
*Boys are often diagnosed more than girls; with 15% of boys receiving the diagnosis and only 8% of girls (it is believed that girls are significantly under-diagnosed)
*77% of children diagnosed with ADHD receive treatment
*Among those who receive treatment, 32% are treated with both medication and behavioral therapy, 30% receive medication only, and 15% receive behavioral therapy only
*Roughly 60% of children with ADHD, also have at least one other mental, emotional, or behavioral condition, such as anxiety or depression
Treatment for ADHD, especially in childhood, can have a significant positive impact on a person's life. Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the more successful the outcome. Feel free to reach out to us for more information, or visit chadd.org for resources, fact sheets, and an overview of ADHD and how it impacts individuals living with it.
