Question
My children are very active, and I’m not sure if they have ADHD. They hardly ever sit still. What should we do? How can I help them? Will it get better as they grow older? What are the consequences of ADHD? What causes ADHD? What should I do? Please help me analyze the cause and guide on how to treat it.
Answer
Hello, this situation may be a manifestation of ADHD. Your children’s behavior suggests they might have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a common childhood psychological disorder characterized by inattention, impulsive behavior, and hyperactivity, as well as learning difficulties. For a definitive diagnosis, it is necessary to take them to a hospital for a detailed examination. Symptomatic treatment usually involves medication, sometimes combined with psychological therapy. In daily life, you can guide and educate them, and ensure they consume enough calcium and zinc, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Observe the treatment effects and keep in touch with the doctor.
