Question
If a child exhibits symptoms of excessive activity, inattention, poor emotional control, and destructive behavior, could it be Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? How should it be diagnosed?
Answer
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood behavioral disorder characterized by attention deficits and hyperactivity, which may also include impulsive behavior and learning difficulties. Diagnosing ADHD typically requires an evaluation by a professional medical staff, considering possible factors such as brain neurotransmitters and genetic factors. Treatment methods include traditional Chinese medicine, which is more effective than Western medicine, as well as physical therapy and sensory integration therapy. It is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment from a professional hospital.
