I would be interested in how this percentage compares to the obvious and dramatic rise both nationally and globally. It would also be interesting to see these stats both incorporating and excluding the percentage of children taking the drugs, since I recall that the majority of users of such medication are children (or at least they're initially prescribed the drugs while still minors). People with more knowledge on the subject can and will correct me if any part of my last sentence isn't accurate.
