Question
The child showed no abnormalities from birth to 1.5 years old, but began to exhibit symptoms of ADHD and behavioral abnormalities at the age of 2, such as throwing tantrums, throwing things away, frequent urination, and talking to oneself. The parents asked about the treatment for ADHD.
Answer
Doctors recommend conducting relevant examinations to confirm whether it is indeed ADHD. If diagnosed, consider a combination of medication treatment and behavioral therapy for treatment. Additionally, since the patient developed symptoms before the age of 3, doctors suggest considering the possibility of childhood autism or early-onset schizophrenia, and advise parents to bring their child to a specialized hospital for detailed evaluation and treatment. If the child’s behavior at home severely affects family life, doctors suggest considering inpatient treatment to control the condition.
