Patient's question:
What are the dangers of not treating ADHD? It is very unfortunate for the child to be diagnosed with pediatric ADHD by the hospital. I don't think it's very serious. What are the dangers of not treating ADHD? Can the treatment be avoided?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If ADHD is not properly recognized and timely and effective treatment is not provided, the child may struggle in school, face criticism from teachers, be scolded by parents, and be looked down upon by peers. Over time, this can create a vicious cycle, which is extremely detrimental to the child's healthy growth. It not only delays the child's precious time for acquiring cultural knowledge but may also affect their future education and employment. The most severe consequence is the potential emergence of "problem youth." Therefore, for the child's health and future, it is essential to take them to a reputable hospital specializing in treating ADHD for effective treatment. There are many therapies available for treating ADHD now, so parents don't need to worry too much.
