It was found that one-third of all ADHD (attention deficit behavior disorder) patients were elementary school students aged 10-14.
According to the National Health Insurance Corporation's ``Yearly Gender Health Insurance Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Clinicians Status'' released last year, in 2017, when health insurance for adult ADHD began to be applied, the number of clinicians who visited a nursing institution for the disease was a year ago. Compared to the 7.4% increase.
The number of patients aged 25 to 29 increased sharply by 65.9%, and those aged 30 or older (45.2%) and those aged 20 to 24 (29.6%) also saw a significant increase. Patients aged 5 to 9 also recorded an increase of 5.3% compared to 1 year ago, and patients aged 10 to 14 recorded an increase of 4.2%.
Amidst the prevalence of patients with ADHD, a case has been recently introduced in Channel A,'Child Care These days-My Baby Like Gold,' and it is drawing attention. It was about the conflict between an elementary school student who couldn't concentrate on studying and his mother.
Accordingly, Dr. Eun-Young Oh explained the characteristics of ADHD and said, "If ADHD is not treated in a timely manner, it will persist throughout life."
