Patient's question:
Child is 9 years old, struggles with focus during tutoring, has difficulty getting along with classmates, does not follow teachers' instructions, walks by tapping and jumping, how can ADHD be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on what you've said alone, it's not possible to diagnose ADHD. The main symptoms of ADHD in children include inattention, restlessness in hands and feet, constant fidgeting while seated, and difficulty concentrating due to external stimuli. They may also fail to follow instructions. Additional symptoms can include emotional instability, irritability, and a tendency to feel guilty. It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital's pediatric neurorehabilitation clinic or a specialized ADHD clinic for further evaluation. The doctor can conduct a comprehensive examination based on the child's condition. If ADHD is confirmed, early treatment is necessary.
