Children suffering from hyperactivity problems (ADHD) are increasingly being treated with methylphenidate – known in Belgium as Rilatine -, according to a study carried out by the Christian Mutualities reported by La Derniere Heure and Het Nieuwsblad on Tuesday.
In 2022, almost 2.4% of children and adolescents used methylphenidate treatment, with three times more users among boys (3.5%) than among girls (1.3%). ), according to the study aimed at taking stock of the medical treatment of ADHD in Belgium. This is 20% more compared to 2013. The increase in use among the young population concerns girls (+42%) more than boys (+13%).
Between 3 and 12% of children and 1 to 6% of adults have ADHD in Belgium.
