Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old and has the following conditions. Please help diagnose whether it belongs to ADHD: inattention, hyperactivity and excessive speech, difficulty falling asleep, poor memory, picky eating (prefers leafy vegetables, tofu, and lean pork, but dislikes poultry and fish), and easily catches colds that are hard to treat, so she wears more clothes. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The child's condition could be ADHD, but it could also be caused by sensory integration dysfunction."This disease (ADHD) refers to normal or near-normal intelligence, which may be caused by multiple factors due to mild brain dysfunction, resulting in excessive activity that is not commensurate with the level of intelligence. It is a comprehensive disorder affecting sensory perception, language, memory, concept formation, and motor control. It is caused by damage to the nervous system, where perception cannot filter incoming stimuli, leading to overstimulation and hyperactivity."
