Simple attention deficit children do not show hyperactivity and will not interfere with class or other activities, so parents and teachers often ignore the symptoms of these children. This type is most common among girls with ADHD.

Hyperactivity/Impulsive - This type of child shows hyperactivity and impulsive behavior at the same time, mainly hyperactivity, and generally has no academic problems. This type of ADHD has the smallest number of children and is often younger.

Mixed type (attention deficit type/hyperactivity type/impulsive type) - This type of children shows symptoms of all three groups mentioned above, and is the most common type of ADHD.

　　 How to judge whether you are sick

First of all, you must know that all children may show some of the above symptoms at some time. Your child may show some reaction in behavior due to pressure from school or family. He or she may be feeling a little discouraged or experiencing some difficulties at a certain stage of life, but this does not mean that he or she has ADHD.

Sometimes, school teachers are the first to notice the children's attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity. They will tell their parents to remind them to pay attention to it.

Perhaps when taking children to see a doctor, some questions from pediatricians will also lead to questions about ADHD. When seeing a doctor, a pediatrician will often ask you the following questions about your child:

★ How does your child behave in school?

★ You, as well as the child's teacher, have you found any learning problems with the child?

★ Are your children happy at school?

★ Does your child have any difficulty in completing class work or homework?

★ Have you ever cared about your child's behavior at school or at home? Will you pay attention to his/her performance when playing with other children?

Perhaps your answer will arouse the interest of pediatricians, who will make further ADHD assessment for your child if they think it necessary. If your child basically shows the above symptoms for more than 6 months, please take your child to see a professional pediatrician in time.

　 80% rely on medication

ADHD is a neurobiological disease. Drug treatment can effectively control its core symptoms such as "attention deficit", "hyperactivity" and "impulsivity". For most children, drug therapy is both safe and effective for relieving the symptoms of ADHD, helping children to focus their attention, stop being distracted, and more effectively control their own behavior. Research has confirmed that 80% of children with ADHD will be greatly improved after drug treatment. For many years, the most commonly used first-line drug for ADHD treatment in clinic is central nerve stimulant. At present, the first-line drug for non stimulant treatment has been launched, such as tomoxetine. When choosing a specific treatment plan, you should consult with a professional doctor to jointly find the best drug combination, dosage and treatment plan for your child.
