According to centers of disease control and prevention, there was a report released stating that approximately 1.6 million school children have been diagnosed with ADHD. According to this latest report more than 7% of the children between the age of 6-11 years have been reported to the doctor of confirming or rather reported of suspecting ADHD.
There was a report “Prevalence of Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disability," based on the data of 1997-98from the national health survey by CDC, this report claimed that half of the children suffering from ADHD also suffer from learning disability.
“So this report came as a snapshot of conditions that have common consequences and important development for the school aged children’s growth” this was said by Acting CDC director David Fleming M.D.
He also said a lot has to known about the cause and results of ADHD, and we are still searching for them. This report included many characteristics that were diagnosed in children who were suffering from ADHD. The report stated that three times the number of girls were the number of boys in the diagnosis as they show maximum results of ADHD. There were white Hispanic children who were at a major risk of contracting ADHD more than non white Hispanics. This report showed major characteristics like the affect of ADHD on particular species of human beings
Even there were some interesting results like excessive health care sometimes also leads to ADHD, children with health insurance were more prone to ADHD than children without health insurance. Health care experts are more in contact with children who are medically insured thus frequent visit they would have identified ADHD in those children.
Among those who have regular access to health care sometimes ADHD in them is overly diagnosed, this was also a common statement of the report. Fleming stated that the consequences and cases in less diagnosed children would be same but we have a bit difficulty because it becomes little difficult to see them frequently until they visit a doctor.
