Patient's question:
The child is 4 years old, but recently, for some reason, the child has become very irritable, likes to be stubborn, and doesn't like watching cartoons anymore. They keep running around and seem to have endless energy. After taking the child for a check-up, it was said that they had been diagnosed with ADHD.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a relatively common psychiatric syndrome in children. Children with normal or near-normal intelligence, excessive activity (in some cases without hyperactivity), inattention, emotional instability, and impulsivity often accompany varying degrees of learning difficulties. Children are innocent, so it cannot be said that mischievous children suffer from ADHD. It is necessary to observe them for a long time. Encourage children, cultivate their self-esteem and confidence, and help them develop interest in learning and life. This is very beneficial for mildly ADHD children, as it can help them recover as soon as possible. Eat less lead-containing foods.
