Patient's question:
My son has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and he doesn't concentrate in class. He is always distracted and doesn't seem to be listening when people talk to him. He is very impulsive and has poor self-control. I want to know how to treat ADHD in children.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a relatively common type of mental disorder 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, foster 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 return to normal as soon as possible. Eat less lead-containing foods.
