9-year-old boy, poor language skills, inattentive, unable to concentrate in class

Patient's question:

The child can say simple words like "rice" and "drink water" within a week, but after walking at two weeks, their language development slowed down. Even now, they cannot speak fluently, although they can recite learned texts very well and have poor comprehension skills. They cannot keep up with the teacher's pace in class but can learn when taught individually.

Doctor's answer:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a common behavioral abnormality in children. Children with this condition have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit defects in learning, behavior, and emotions. The main symptoms include poor concentration, short attention span, excessive activity, emotional impulsivity, and generally poor academic performance. Currently, the main treatments for ADHD include medication, psychological and behavioral therapy, family therapy, and brainwave biofeedback therapy. Among these, medication is the first-line treatment.
