What is ADHD?

Patient's question:

The child has very severe ADHD, very poor attention in class, very unfocused, poor academic performance, very energetic, often seems to have endless energy, and loves to move a lot?

Doctor's answer:

ADHD is a common mental disorder in children. These children are usually of normal intelligence but exhibit symptoms such as distraction, excessive activity, impulsivity, and poor self-control, which are inconsistent with their actual age and thus affect their learning.
First, children with ADHD are not sick in the pathological sense; they should not be treated differently, nor should they be subjected to fighting, to avoid exacerbating their trauma.
Second, medication must be prescribed for children with ADHD, but medication cannot replace education. Medication can provide a good educational environment, and the role and side effects of the medication should be understood correctly.
Third, to achieve good results, cooperation is necessary across four aspects (children, parents, teachers, and physicians).
