ADHD Currently around 17.1 million children deal with a mental illness in the United States. In this paper we will each be discussing a prevalent mental illness in the pediatric population and how it might compare to the same condition in adults and how we can help them deal with it. We will talk about the signs and symptoms, treatment options, and resources available for the child and their parents. Treatment.
