Childhood ADHD is a condition affecting millions of children in the United States. In 2016, 6.1 million children were diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Millions of these children are between 6 and 17, with nearly four hundred thousand ranging from 2 to 5.
And, children with ADHD are more likely to be comorbid with another mental disorder. This means a child with ADHD holds a 64% chance of overlapping with another mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
