What should children with ADHD do?

Hello, the full name of ADHD is Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADHD for short. It usually starts before the age of 6, and the incidence rate in China is about 6.8%, which is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

It is related to premature delivery, heredity, environmental factors, family education, excessive lead and neurobiochemical factors.

ADHD, inattention and impulsiveness are the three core symptoms. Children's medical treatment is generally feedback from teachers, and parents bring their children to see a doctor.

Generally, children before the age of 6 do not need medication, but mainly use behavior correction.

Children after the age of 6 generally receive comprehensive treatment, mainly drug therapy, behavior correction and physical therapy, and cooperate with parents in class.

Generally speaking, although ADHD has a long treatment cycle, it is a disease with good treatment expectation.

The treatment principle of ADHD is early detection and early treatment. Generally, 50% of ADHD that lasts for more than one year will produce TIC disorder, learning disorder, conduct disorder, depression disorder and other diseases. The academic, psychological and physical harm caused by missing the best opportunity for treatment is not worth the loss.

The rehabilitation goal of ADHD is to improve symptoms, reduce illness and promote the comprehensive recovery of patients' social functions, including improving interpersonal relationships, reducing destructive behaviors, improving academic performance or work performance, increasing self-care ability, homework or independence, improving self-esteem and improving life safety.
