Question

How do you address Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in teens?

Answer

Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) cannot suppress it on their own, leading to feelings of inferiority and powerlessness. They are often teased and bullied by their peers, which negatively impacts their social interactions and can lead to autistic tendencies. Their academic performance is usually not up to par, which leads to feelings of disinterest in learning and a subsequent drop in academic performance, creating a vicious cycle. Early intervention is necessary, starting with psychological therapy to manage stress, along with medication, and parents should offer encouragement and guidance.
