Patient's question:
The child has not performed well academically since the first grade of primary school. The teacher said that during each class, my son is always moving around and cannot sit still for a moment, and he doesn't listen attentively at all. We are worried that he might have ADHD. Please ask: What should be done to prevent the symptoms of ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD have no interests or hobbies, and they cannot concentrate for long periods of time, no matter where or when. They exhibit attention scars. On the other hand, active children can focus intently on tasks they dislike and enjoy others' intervention and influence. They become restless during tutoring and homework because they lack interest in the exercises. Common medications for treating ADHD include methylphenidate hydrochloride and dextroamphetamine sulfate. While the specific efficacy of these drugs in reducing ADHD symptoms has not yet been confirmed, researchers believe they can adjust dopamine and norepinephrine levels, helping children concentrate and increase feelings of guilt. There are many treatment methods for ADHD, but since the condition varies among patients, the diagnostic approaches also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients detect symptoms early and start treatment promptly.
