Children are usually very curious about everything and want to touch everything. This is a normal phenomenon, but some children are more serious and even suffer from ADHD. So what are the symptoms of ADHD in children? How to treat ADHD in children?

The child will react to all irrelevant stimuli around him, and will have difficulty concentrating. The time of concentration is relatively short. The general symptoms of ADHD are hyperactivity, impulsivity, difficulty keeping quiet in a new environment, inability to concentrate and be careful in class, always looking around, leaving the seat without permission, and not queuing in normal order. He is at a loss when answering the teacher's questions, but can concentrate or pay relatively close attention to games, TV programs, books and magazines that interest him. Therefore, his family often mistakenly believes that he has no problem with attention. He is overly excited during activities, finds it difficult to stop playing, runs more than other normal children, does not follow the rules, often has aggressive behavior, and moves more and faster than normal children.

In clinical practice, ADHD is also known as attention deficit disorder. Its treatment methods mainly include: 1. Behavioral therapy: Encourage children to exercise, actively participate in group activities, release their nature, and use biofeedback training equipment to improve their concentration; 2. Parent training: Parents should pay more attention to the positive behavior of children, which is conducive to the development of positive behavior of children; 3. Drug treatment: It is currently the most effective clinical treatment method, mainly including central nervous system stimulants and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. In life, parents should spend more time with children with ADHD, be patient with their children, and don't lose their temper with their children, otherwise it will be counterproductive. The main treatment for this disease is to improve it through parents' patient guidance and creating a warm family environment. At the same time, children can be taken for psychological counseling, and the treatment effect is generally good. If the symptoms are more severe, drugs such as atomoxetine can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Genetic factors: Investigations have shown that many children with hereditary symptoms have fathers or blood-related brothers who suffer from ADHD. Therefore, when a father or brother shows symptoms of ADHD, special attention should be paid to the offspring and comprehensive prevention measures should be taken.

2. Brain neurotransmitters: Brain neurotransmitter secretion disorders are the main factor causing children to suffer from ADHD. It refers to abnormal neurotransmitter metabolism in the brain of children. For example, lack of dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and acetylcholine can cause children to suffer from ADHD.

3. Brain tissue damage: Common brain tissue damage in children includes viral infection during pregnancy, medication, neonatal asphyxia, birth trauma, brain hypoxia and brain damage caused by various reasons, etc. These are all well preventable.

4. Psychological factors: Psychological factors are an important cause of ADHD in children. Common factors that affect children's psychology include bad family environment and educational methods, being overly demanding, rude or overly indulgent towards children, and inappropriate corporal punishment or discrimination in school.

5. Trace elements: Relevant studies have shown that the occurrence of ADHD in children is related to the deficiency or poisoning of trace elements, such as iron, zinc, magnesium and manganese deficiency, as well as lead poisoning are all related to the onset of ADHD.

This is a question often asked by parents of children with ADHD. It is generally believed that ADHD often occurs in children, so they should see a pediatrician. However, studies have shown that ADHD is related to factors such as brain nerve transmission, brain damage, genetics, abnormal family relationships and improper education. Therefore, experts recommend that children with ADHD see a neurologist. For children with ADHD, the focus of treatment is to cultivate and develop their self-control and attention. The main thing is to train children to use better cognitive activities to improve attention and overcome distraction; the second is to reduce children's excessive activities and bad behaviors through a certain program of training. Secondly, entertainment therapy can also be used. According to the personality characteristics and family conditions of the child, various forms of entertainment activities should be arranged reasonably according to local conditions. Such as singing games, etc., to adjust the atmosphere and cultivate temperament. In particular, children should be encouraged to participate in more group entertainment activities, and guidance and correction of behavioral deviations should be given during the activities.
