It’s estimated that between 5-10% of school children suffer from ADHD.
This disorder affects more boys than girls and is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive actions.

In this segment, Dr. Mike discusses the research and why you might want to think twice about taking acetaminophen, especially while pregnant.
