More than 5 million U.S. children, or 9.5 percent, have been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2007, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kids with the condition may act more impulsively, and have difficulty paying attention and controlling their behavior.
Medications, however, are not recommended for pre-school children with ADHD. During the past 10 years, prescriptions for medications to treat ADHD have increased significantly in all age groups. Considering all age groups, children and adolescents receive the most prescriptions for medications to treat ADHD. During the last 5 years, there was 40% rise in ADHD prescriptions (USA Today, 4/13/09).
