Question
The child is unable to stay still at any time, constantly active, even during meals or study sessions. During final exams, the child cannot concentrate, even when playing games. The child shows little interest in food and performs worse in practice. The child seems indifferent to incorrect questions and continues to play during final exams.
Answer
If a 9-year-old child exhibits symptoms such as hyperactivity, inability to stay still, excessive movement, inattention, lack of focus in learning, guilt, impulsiveness, and decreased appetite, it may be Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is recommended to seek early assessment and treatment, including medication and behavioral intervention. Medication can create a good condition for education and behavioral intervention, but it cannot replace education and should be recognized properly for its effects and side effects.
