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 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 self-isolation. Most of their academic performance is not ideal, which causes them to develop school aversion. This, in turn, triggers further decline in their academic performance, forming a vicious cycle. It is important to seek timely diagnosis, starting with psychological therapy to alleviate psychological stress, followed by medication. Parents should provide encouragement and support.
