Question
A fourth-grade student developed abnormal behavior after his mother discarded his beloved clamshell in 2007 following the National Day celebrations. The behavior included crying, body arching, upward eye deviation, mouth opening and closing, hand tremors, and vomiting. Similar episodes occurred occasionally thereafter, with the student reporting a blank sensation in the brain during attacks. How should such severe psychological conditions in children be handled?
Answer
Hello, the described symptoms are similar to “child recovery,” which is usually related to psychological factors and personality traits. It is recommended to consult a pediatric psychology department for a diagnosis.Brain Electroencephalogram (EEG), brain CT scan, and other relevant examinations should be conducted to rule out potential organic issues such as childhood epilepsy. Most importantly, if the condition is confirmed to be psychological, it is crucial for a doctor to observe and diagnose on-site to determine the severity of the condition and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Do not seek medical attention lightly, as this may delay the condition and lead to adverse consequences. Please seek treatment at an authorized medical institution. Children are the most precious treasure of parents; we wish for the child’s early recovery.
