Patient's question:
I always thought ADHD was something only boys could have, so I never paid much attention to how mischievous my daughter was. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that my daughter also suffers from ADHD. I would like to ask, how does one get ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as developmental coordination disorder in children, is a mild brain dysfunction syndrome. It has a higher incidence rate than childhood tics and is a relatively common psychological disorder in children. The intelligence of affected children is normal or nearly normal, with only minor shortcomings in learning, behavior, and temperament. Most children exhibit symptoms from infancy, manifesting as irritability, sleep disturbances, and poor cooperation during feeding.Children with ADHD are simply hyperactive, which is a psychological condition. The causes of the disorder are varied, and treatment can be particularly challenging. Therefore, in addition to medical treatment, dietary adjustments should also be implemented to support the child's overall well-being.
