How Prevalent is ADHD These Days?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder occurs mostly in children.  That is rather well known.  What you may not know is that well over six million American kids between ages 4 and 7 have been diagnosed with ADHD.  Symptoms seem to begin appearing between three and six.  The real question is…could one of your children have ADHD, but not yet be diagnosed?

Here are some facts that I want you to know about ADHD –

1.  Boys are three times more likely to contract it.
2.  13% of men will acquire the symptoms in their lifetime and only 5% of women.
3.  The average age of an ADHD diagnosis is seven years.
4.  It isn’t just confined to kids, either.

As the best parent you can be, it is imperative that you don’t “hide your head in the sand”.  If you suspect that your child has signs of ADHD please call me for a consultation.  My name is Dr. Steven Sussman with an office in Mountainside NJ.  This disorder has been around for over 100 years and it’s time to control it once and for all!  Please call me at (908) 217-8106.
