Question
Children often struggle to concentrate in class, easily distracted, and may disturb other students by whispering to them. Their academic performance continues to decline. Parents are concerned that this might be a sign of ADHD and are seeking medical examination. Which department should children with ADHD be consulted for?
Answer
ADHD primarily manifests as children’s difficulty in maintaining attention, along with excessive activity, which is closely related to psychological factors. It is recommended that parents try to communicate appropriately with their children, using activities like joint play, reading, or participation in events to help them focus and alleviate symptoms. For medical examination or treatment, consider visiting the pediatric neurology or pediatrics department of the hospital for diagnosis.
