Patient's question:
How should ADHD be treated best? Recently, I have been diagnosed with ADHD, and my body feels very uncomfortable. Moreover, now every time I attend class, I have a feeling of being unable to concentrate, which is very distressing. Additionally, I often squint, and I feel very uncomfortable. I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a relatively common psychiatric syndrome in children. Children with this condition typically have normal or near-normal intelligence, excessive activity (in some cases), difficulty concentrating, emotional instability, and impulsivity, often accompanied by varying degrees of learning difficulties. ADHD is not a temporary phenomenon; it can have multiple negative impacts on children, so parents should take them for treatment. Treatment includes coordination between home and school, education for the child, and appropriate medication, both of which should not be overlooked. A child's behavior is closely related to their family and social environment. A poor family environment plays a role in proving and reinforcing the child's negative behavior.
