Question
The child has recently shown symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, mood instability, obstinacy, slow movements, and dislike for school. The doctor has diagnosed it as ADHD. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also known as a mild brain dysfunction or attention deficit disorder, is a common behavioral abnormality in children. Although intellectually normal, children with ADHD have deficits in learning, behavior, and emotional control. The main symptoms include difficulty concentrating, excessive activity, and impulsiveness, which can affect academic performance. For children with bad habits and learning difficulties, specific guidance should be provided to establish a regular lifestyle, cultivate good habits, and continuously boost their self-confidence.
