Children’s Inattention and Anxiety: Is It a Disease?

Question

My child often shows signs of inattention and anxiety. Does this mean they have a disease? Do we need to take them to the hospital for treatment? How long does it usually take to see improvement?

Answer

Firstly, understanding the specific situation of the child is crucial. Ask if the child resists going to school or attending classes. If the answer is yes, it is recommended to temporarily remove the child from the school environment and provide them with appropriate space at home, without forcing them to study. During this time, observe whether the child’s condition improves. At the same time, it is suggested to consult a professional doctor to obtain more professional opinions and treatment plans. It is important not to put too much pressure on the child, as this may exacerbate their mental anxiety when they enter school.
