Patient's question:
My dear son was okay when he was three or four, not considered mischievous. But since a year ago, he often fights with other little friends and doesn't listen when we talk to him. He frequently makes small disturbances in class. The doctor told us it's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Now, I would like to ask about the best treatment for ADHD.Doctor's answer:
ADHD is a common mental illness in children. These children are usually of normal intelligence, but they exhibit symptoms such as distraction, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor self-control, which are inconsistent with their actual age and thus affect their learning.Suggestions:
First, children with ADHD are ill and should not be discriminated against or physically punished, as this may worsen their trauma.
Second, medication must be prescribed for children with ADHD, but medication cannot replace education. Medication can provide a good educational environment, and it is important to understand its role and side effects correctly.
Third, to achieve good results, cooperation is necessary among four parties (children, parents, teachers, and doctors).
