Patient's question:
The baby is just under two and a half years old, but loves to move around. It seems like it never stops all day long. It's also very playful and doesn't like to eat much. Girls are even more energetic than boys. Is it ADHD? Will it affect development?Doctor's answer:
ADHD is a common psychological disorder in children. Children with this condition are usually of normal intelligence but exhibit characteristics that do not match their actual age, such as distractibility, excessive activity, impulsivity, and poor self-control, which can affect their learning.First, it is important to recognize that ADHD is a medical condition and should not be discriminated against or punished, as this may worsen the child's emotional trauma.
Second, medication is necessary for treating ADHD, but it cannot replace education. Medication can provide a better foundation for education, and it is essential to understand both its benefits and side effects.
Third, to achieve effective results, cooperation among all four parties—the child, parents, teachers, and doctors—is crucial.
