Question
The child exhibits symptoms of inattention, easily distracted, and fluctuating academic performance. Previous treatment has included laboratory tests and detailed examination results. Now, we need to understand how to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) quickly and effectively, and inquire about which hospital has a good track record in this area?
Answer
Distinguishing between hyperactive children and ADHD children can be done from the following aspects: 1. Attention-wise, hyperactive children can focus on things they are interested in and enjoy interacting with others, whereas ADHD children seem distracted in any activity and struggle to complete tasks; 2. In terms of self-control, hyperactive children can control their behavior in unfamiliar environments or when given advice, and can sit quietly, while ADHD children find it difficult to sit still and maintain a stationary position; 3. Behaviorally, the active behavior of hyperactive children usually has clear reasons and purposes, whereas the behavior of ADHD children is often impulsive and lacks a clear purpose; 4. Physically, hyperactive children are quick-witted and have coordinated movements without any memory or recognition defects, while ADHD children have significant shortcomings in these areas.
