Patient's question:
Our child recently started attending kindergarten, and he is quite mischievous at home. At school, the teacher has reported that he is very hyperactive. During tutoring, he cannot concentrate his attention, and he often gets into fights with other children. Is this ADHD? What are the harms of ADHD for children?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is inferred that the child may have ADHD. As a parent, it is essential to take the child to the hospital for treatment as early as possible. Early treatment leads to early recovery, and it is crucial not to scold the child casually to avoid alleviating their mental trauma. Children with ADHD still require medication, but medication only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. What is most important is the guidance and encouragement from adults. Patients with this condition should not smoke, drink beer, or eat spicy and stimulating foods. In terms of diet, it is best to aim for light and nutritious food, exercise regularly, and maintain both physical and mental health.
