Question
A 9-year-old girl in third grade is often forgetful about the characters she has learned. She struggles to pay attention in class, procrastinates on assignments, and is prone to daydreaming and losing focus.
Answer
During the process of growth, inattention and distractibility may occur, which could be symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is important to seek appropriate treatment promptly. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), known as ADHD in Taiwan, is a common psychological disorder in childhood. It is characterized by difficulty concentrating and maintaining focus for extended periods, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms are often accompanied by academic difficulties, behavioral problems, and maladjustment. Medication can improve attention deficits, reduce activity levels, and to some extent, improve academic performance. In the short term, it can also improve the relationship between patients and their families.
