Question
A nine-year-old girl has difficulty concentrating in class, loves to make small movements and talk, is very active, but her academic performance is still good. Could this be a symptom of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder? What is the approximate cost of treating this condition?
Answer
The specific cost of treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is difficult to determine as it varies depending on the hospital’s grade and location in the city. It is recommended to consult with hospitals that have treatment qualifications. In addition to medication treatment, some children with sensory integration dysfunction may require sensory integration training. Moreover, children with emotional issues may need psychotherapy, and some may also require sand tray or painting therapy, among others. If these auxiliary treatment methods are included, the cost may be higher.
