Question

A child shows symptoms of slow response, unclear thinking, and poor memory during play. These symptoms also manifest in communication difficulties in daily work and social interactions. These symptoms may indicate Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and parents are concerned about the cost of treating this condition.

Answer

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or a mild brain function disorder, is a common pediatric behavioral abnormality. Patients have normal intelligence but exhibit deficiencies in learning, behavior, and emotional control, mainly manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, and emotional impulsivity, leading to generally poor academic performance. For the treatment of ADHD, it is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Treatment costs will vary depending on the severity of the child’s condition and sensitivity to medication, so there is no fixed amount.
