What percentage of the population have been diagnosed with ADHD?

According to some studies, the percentage of the population that is diagnosed with ADHD is 11%. There are some centers, though, who think that the number of people who are diagnosed with this condition should be higher. There are some people with ADHD who may not be aware that they have it because they are able to function almost normally. If they have some behavior issues, they may assume that it is just a part of their overall personality.

Most people with ADHD are diagnosed at a young age, usually between the ages of 4 to 11. Less than 20% of people who are diagnosed with this condition seek medical help. Some of them do not bother seeking help because they do not have enough funds.
