Can a 12-year-old with ADHD be treated?

Patient's question:

I don't think so. At twelve, he still doesn't know that 1+1 equals 2, and he can only count up to 10. What he says is quite clear, but his mouth just won't stop; he always talks nonstop. He repeats the same thing over and over, and I'm asking, based on this situation, can you tell me what illness this child might have?

Doctor's answer:

6-14 years old is a crucial period for children to learn and grow. It is also an important time for children to develop a healthy personality, behavior, and mindset. During this period, proactive measures should be taken to prevent attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. If a child is diagnosed with ADHD, there is no need to panic. As long as appropriate treatment measures are adopted, the earlier the treatment begins, the better the child will recover. Special education arrangements. Although teachers make their utmost efforts to care for children with ADHD, many children with ADHD still struggle to be managed. There is a need for professionals specializing in children to help arrange special education. Children with ADHD generally do not have intellectual disabilities.
