15.5 million U.S. adults have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, CDC study finds.

Only one-third of those with ADHD said they had received a prescription for a stimulant drug used to treat it in the previous year .

Nearly three quarters of those who have a prescription had difficulty getting it filled because the medication was unavailable.

Around 2% to 5% of adults experience ADHD symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
