Patient's question:
The child has been very careless lately, often losing things and forgetting details. He doesn't remember his homework assignments from the teacher, doesn't like reading, and doesn't do his homework either. When you scold him, he might listen for a moment, but his attention drifts away quickly. Later, we took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said he has ADHD.Where is a good place in Wuxi to treat pediatric ADHD, and how is it treated?
Doctor's answer:
Molecular genetics studies suggest a certain correlation between ADHD and dopamine-receptor pathways. The prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia play important roles in regulating motor activity. Dysfunction in these brain regions can lead to reduced inhibitory function, which may result in ADHD. A detailed physical and neurological examination should be conducted before medication to identify the underlying cause. Behavioral disorders in children caused by congenital physical defects should be treated with medication first.
