Patient's question:
Is ADHD a disease in children?Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) does not belong to the category of general "diseases," but rather to issues related to the type of higher nervous activity in humans. It involves a person's personality, psychological qualities, and self-control ability, also known as "self-discipline," which is a component of a person's willpower. Self-discipline is demonstrated in the ability to compel oneself to steadfastly execute rational decisions, to control psychological obstacles that are detrimental to achieving goals, such as fear, laziness, rage, playfulness, gluttony, indolence, as well as refraining from saying inappropriate things and avoiding unnecessary actions.
