Please pay attention to the physical and mental health of children – Talk about ADHD in children

  ADHD, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a common behavioral disorder in children. The main clinical symptoms are attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity, learning difficulties, and neurodevelopmental disorders or delays. The incidence of the disease is higher in males than in females, with foreign reports ranging from 3% to 6% and domestic reports ranging from 4.31-5.81%, with an increasing trend. Symptoms can persist into adulthood without active treatment.  According to Chinese medicine, the disease belongs to the category of “dirty agitation” and “agitation”. The core clinical symptoms are inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness, which are incompatible with the age of the child. The following are specific descriptions of the core symptoms: 1. Attention deficit symptoms 1. Frequent inability to pay attention to details or frequent careless mistakes at school, at work, or in other activities (e.g., neglecting or missing details, working inaccurately).  2.Often maintain difficulty paying attention in completing tasks or activities (e.g., in presentations, conversations, or long readings).  3.When talking directly with others, often does not seem to listen (e.g., often wanders off even when the environment is not obviously distracting).  4. Often fails to follow instructions and to complete homework, chores, or work (e.g., gets distracted quickly at the beginning of a task and tends to shift goals).  5. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities (e.g., difficulty maintaining task order; misplacing objects and materials; disorganized work; disorganized time management; unable to complete tasks on time).  6. Often avoids activities that are disliked or reluctant to engage in activities that require maintenance of mental energy (e.g., school activities or household chores; for youth or adults: preparing reports, completing forms, reading long texts).  7. Often loses items necessary to complete tasks or activities (e.g., study materials, pencils, books; tools, wallets, keys, written work, glasses, cell phones).  8. Irrelevant stimuli often tend to cause distractions (for youth and adults can include irrelevant thoughts).  9. Often forgets daily activities (e.g., chores, running errands; for youth and adults this includes returning phone calls, paying bills, going to appointments) 2. Hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms 1. Often squirms and restlessly sits and rests.  2. Often difficult to control in situations where sitting is required (e.g., in classrooms, offices or other work environments or environments that require perseverance often go AWOL).  3.Running and climbing in inappropriate places (Note, youth or adults may be limited to restlessness).  4, often unable to play quietly or engage in leisure activities.  5, often non-stop “activity”, as if “driven by the engine” (for example, in restaurants, meeting places, a little longer fidgeting, can not be synchronized with everyone).  6, often talk too much.  7, often other people’s questions are not finished, and then rushed to answer (such as, picking up the conversation, interrupting).  8, often can not wait (for example, queuing).  9, often interrupt or interfere with others (e.g., rudely interfere in conversations, games or other activities; unauthorized casual use of other people’s belongings; for youth and adults including interference or interfere with what others are doing) If your child has the above symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly, children with mild to moderate evidence of Chinese medicine can significantly improve, and can improve diet and increase resistance.
