Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Introduction Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is also known as hyperactivity syndrome in children. Children with hyperactivity syndrome, mild brain dysfunction syndrome, is a more common childhood behavior disorder syndrome. The child's intelligence is normal or close to normal, too much activity, inattention, emotional instability, impulsiveness, poor self-control, and varying degrees of learning difficulties. The disease is characterized by hyperactivity, difficulty in concentration, emotional instability and impulsivity. There are different levels of learning difficulties, but the child's intelligence is normal or basically normal.

Cause

The main cause of this disease is due to lack of congenital endowment, and has a certain relationship with heredity. The acquired factors such as birth injury, trauma, and poor growth and development are also related.

The pathogenesis of this disease is mainly the imbalance of yin and yang. The human emotions and activities must depend on the balance of yin and yang of the human body to maintain normality; and the normal behavior of human beings must be maintained by Yin and Yang. If the yin and qi are insufficient, the positive movements will be more than enough.

Ask the psychiatrist to diagnose whether it is neurasthenia. Once diagnosed, psychological treatment should be carried out immediately to avoid delaying the condition and not conducive to the recovery of neurasthenia.
