Patient's question:
My child is usually very active and quite mischievous. As soon as they start talking, it's like the conversation never ends. I read online that this could be a sign of ADHD. Could you please tell me what steps should be taken to find a hospital for treating ADHD?Doctor's answer:
ADHD is also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, referring to a group of syndromes that occur during childhood and are characterized by significant difficulties in sustaining attention, short attention span, excessive motor activity, or guilt compared to peers. ADHD is a common disorder among children, with an incidence rate generally reported as 3%-5%, and a male-to-female ratio of 4-9:1. Children being lively, active, or even mischievous are all natural traits. However, some parents, upon encountering phenomena such as lack of focus during tutoring, fidgeting, or carelessly completing homework and poor academic performance, immediately believe their child must have ADHD and seek medical treatment everywhere. If not treated in time, ADHD in children can bring harm to their early life.
