Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old this year. Since he was young, he has been an active and restless child. Starting from July this year, he began to bite his lips. Since he started kindergarten, the teachers have reported that he is overly active, lacks patience when doing things, but thinks quickly, speaks actively, and gets along well with his peers. Now that he is in primary school, his homework is sometimes messy, especially because he doesn’t know how to take care of his own things. His books are always damaged, and everything is in disarray. His Chinese is poor, but his math is excellent. He struggles to stay focused for a 45-minute class. Is this ADHD? What are the symptoms of ADHD? How is it treated? If it’s not ADHD, is it related to calcium or zinc deficiency? Also, in the past two years, his height growth has been slow, and he is shorter than...Doctor's answer:
If a child has mild ADHD, the same applies. Timely treatment is needed. If not treated in time, it may develop into moderate ADHD. Mild ADHD can be treated through psychological regulation therapy. It's important to keep the child happy, avoid frequently scolding them, or making them feel resentful. Be patient and explain everything to the child. Give them more encouragement.
