Patient's question:
The child is over four years old and still urinates in bed unconsciously. The kindergarten asks to bring her home to do homework, but she can't sit still. Even with hands-on teaching, she still can't write, stopping frequently. She is very mischievous, often crawling around everywhere. At night, there are signs of sleepwalking. She often sits on the bed for no reason or has uncontrollable outbursts of crying. How can one determine if the child has ADHD?Doctor's answer:
ADHD symptoms include hyperactivity, irritability, easily angered, difficulty concentrating, and poor academic performance. It is recommended to take the child for a follow-up visit to the pediatric or neurology department for additional examinations. After a clear diagnosis is confirmed, follow the doctor's advice for additional behavioral intervention or medication.The impact of ADHD on patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid stimulating foods. It is hoped that ADHD patients can receive professional treatment.
