Question

How much does it cost to treat a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Answer

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also known as Mild Brain Function Disorder (MBD), is a condition characterized by two main types: attention deficit and hyperactivity. The primary symptoms include learning difficulties, inattention, and poor self-control. This condition begins in childhood and may persist into adulthood, with the most pronounced symptoms observed in school-aged children. Statistics show that approximately 5-10% of school-aged children are affected by ADHD, with boys being five times more likely to be diagnosed than girls, and 65-80% of ADHD children experience learning difficulties. Treatment methods for ADHD are diverse, resulting in a wide range of costs. It is recommended that parents take their children to a regular hospital for treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor to determine the specific cost.
