MENTAL HEALTH

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity or impulsivity that occurs in occupational, academic, and social settings. ADHD is one of the most common mental health disorders present in children. Demographic reports state 5 to 10 percent of American children between the age of 3-17 have been diagnosed with ADHD, which translates into nearly up to 6 million children. ADHD is more common in boys than girls by a ratio of 2.5 to 1. While symptoms usually first present in childhood, symptoms may persist into adulthood...
