I do not know the percentage, but I do know my daughter was diagnosed with ADD when she was younger, they wanted to place her on medication for it, as she grew older, her symptoms change, and she suffers from depression and separation anxiety, among other thing. Six years after the first diagnoses, she was finally diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder. With a lot of treatment and penitence, she has gotten a whole lot better in a short amount of time. Be careful always seek a second, third and forth opinion Had she been placed on the drug for ADD or ADHD it would have amplified all of the symptoms she had and made matters worse, I feel doctor are too quick to hand out a condition

Actaully, most. I think it comes about due to diet and lifestyle, and for many kids (and adults) this is rather poor. Lack of self-discipline and too many processed sugars.

I'm very skeptical. I think their diet should be looked at. And their home live. They should not be put on medication.
