Patient's question:
My child is already in the second year of junior high school, but recently, he often makes senseless mistakes, which has led to teachers liking him and classmates targeting him, to the extent that he can no longer go to school. My child has ADHD, does this have anything to do with it?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD cannot control it themselves, and they are prone to feelings of inferiority and helplessness. In school, they are often teased and played with by other normal children, which creates adverse interference in social interactions and leads to negative psychological effects like isolation. Most of their academic performance is not ideal, which causes them to develop school avoidance, further exacerbating their learning difficulties and creating a vicious cycle. It is important to seek timely diagnosis and treatment. Psychological therapy should be the first step to reduce psychological stress, followed by medication. Parents should provide encouragement and support.
