Patient's question:
Last year, I discovered that my child has ADHD, but after trying many methods, the situation hasn't improved. I'm really worried that if this continues, my child's future will be ruined. Please ask: How should ADHD be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The intergenerational genetic factors contributing to ADHD should not be overlooked. Approximately 40% of parents of ADHD children have siblings and other relatives who also suffered from the condition during their childhood. The incidence of ADHD symptoms is significantly higher in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins. ADHD siblings have a higher prevalence of the disorder than half-siblings (half-brothers and half-sisters), but it is still lower than in the general population. Therefore, experts recommend getting married at an appropriate time, avoiding excessive emotional distress during pregnancy, smoking, drinking beer, and consuming spicy foods, and ensuring natural and adequate nutrition. If your child experiences symptoms such as inattention or a sense of guilt, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination promptly.
