Patient's question:
I have a friend whose daughter has a very cute child. They came to play at my house for a few days this week. Gradually, I noticed some differences between him and other babies. He is often restless and can't stay quiet. My friend said that this behavior might be due to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). If he has ADHD, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral problem in children, also known as Minimal Brain Dysfunction Syndrome (MBDS) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Children with this condition typically have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit shortcomings in learning, behavior, and emotional regulation. If signs of ADHD are observed in a child, it is important to take them to a hospital for further diagnosis at an early stage rather than waiting until they start school or their academic performance declines. In fact, having ADHD is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the condition. With timely treatment during the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
