What are the consequences of not treating ADHD?

Patient's question:

A friend's brother has ADHD, and without treatment, he basically exhibits symptoms very consistent with ADHD. I'd like to ask, what are the consequences of not treating ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

If a child has ADHD, if it is not treated, it is really possible for it to persist into adulthood, or even the first half of their life. During adolescence, the main interference is poor concentration and learning difficulties. In young adulthood, the main manifestation is interpersonal difficulties, and later on, it may lead to unhappy family life. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough examination and treatment. The cost will depend on the local hospital. For the child's future, early treatment is crucial. Proper treatment can lead to a full recovery, but it will take much longer. To completely recover from this condition, treatment must start from the nervous system. A combined Western and Chinese treatment approach can provide the damaged nerves with good blood supply and nutrition, and activate them to achieve regeneration and repair, fundamentally restoring them.
