Some children do have ADHD, while others are due to liveliness. Experts remind patients not to treat children's liveliness as hyperactivity disorder, and do not treat children's hyperactivity as liveliness.
Director Mu Chunxia, an expert at Qingdao clinical base of China children's medical research center, specially reminds parents that holidays are the best time to consolidate the treatment of ADHD. If parents want to stop taking drugs, they should first ask the doctor to judge, otherwise it may lead to repeated symptoms.
ADHD children are not only 'hyperactive', but also impulsive, disobedient and prone to trouble, causing trouble in school, not willing to learn, and passive resistance to examinations. Some parents don't care about ADHD and think they will be better when they grow up. 'without intervention, more than half of the children's ADHD will continue into adulthood. "Director Mu Chunxia said that when such children go to junior high school, they are more likely to become addicted to the Internet and smoking.

Lively, active is the child's nature, then, how to judge whether the child has ADHD or is naturally lively and active?
Mu Chunxia, an expert at the Qingdao clinical base of China children's medical research center, said that ADHD children had attention deficit, impulse and hyperactivity, and their learning and interpersonal communication were seriously hindered. But lively, active is the child's nature, some children's hyperactivity belongs to playfulness or lack of interest in learning, rather than ADHD.
Children's hyperactivity and ADHD differ in whether there is occasion and timeliness. ADHD children's hyperactivity and impulsivity are inseparable. The difference between the two lies in their purposefulness. ADHD children's hyperactivity is aimless and disorderly. They tend to have weak willpower and do things from beginning to end. Active children have strong inhibition, and their activities often have a certain purpose, and have plans and arrangements.
Mu stressed that parents must take their children to the professional outpatient clinic for relevant assessment, and doctors will conduct behavioral observation, psychological measurement, interview and so on, and finally diagnose and treat the child. Without treatment, 70% of the symptoms in school-age ADHD children will persist into adolescence. Although the hyperactivity level of most children will be reduced, they may have learning difficulties, confront their parents and teachers, violate discipline, attack and play truant. About 35% of them start to drink alcohol. In 30% of ADHD children, symptoms persist into adulthood.
