Attention Deficit Disorder – Quick Facts, Demographic Features & Conditions That Stem From The Disorder

May 17, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Some Quick Facts about Attention Deficit Disorder

Males are almost three times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than females (A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). During their lifetimes, 12.9 percent of men will be diagnosed with the attention disorder(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

Just 4.9 percent of women will be diagnosed(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).The average age of ADHD diagnosis is 7 years old(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).Symptoms of ADHD typically first appear between the ages of 3 and 6(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

ADHD isn’t just a childhood disorder. Today, about 4 percent of American adults over the age of 18 deal with ADHD on a daily basis(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

Demographic Features of A.D.H.D.    

Here are demographic factors that impact the risks of being diagnosed with ADHD. Children living in households where English is the main language are more than four times as likely to be diagnosed as children living in households where English is the second language(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). And children living in households that make less than two times the federal povertylevel have a higher risk than children from higher-income households(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

Certain conditions might affect certain races in different ways, but ADHD impacts children of all races(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).From 2001 to 2010, the rate of ADHD among non-Hispanic black girls increased 90 percent(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).ADHD affects children of all races, including:whites: 9.8%, blacks: 9.5% and Latinos: 5.5%(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

Children are also diagnosed at different ages. Detecting symptoms differs from case to case, and the more severe, the earlier the diagnosis.(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). 8 years old is average age of diagnosis for children with mild ADHD(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). 7 years old is the average age of diagnosis for children with moderate ADHD(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). 5 years old is the average age of diagnosis for children with severe ADHD(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

Is A.D.H.D. Increasing?

Cases and diagnoses of ADHD have been increasing dramatically in the past few years. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) says that 5 percent of American children have ADHD(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) puts the number at more than double the APA’s number(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).

The CDC says that 11 percent of American children, ages 4 to 17, have the attention disorder(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). That’s an increase of 42 percent in just eight years(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017). There are other conditions that can be attributed to have started due to A.D.H.D. These include learning disabilities, conduct disorders and difficultiesincluding antisocial behavior, fighting, and oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, Tourette’s syndrome, substance abuse, bed-wetting problems and sleep disorders(A.D.D. Resource Centre, 2017).
