Speaking of the characteristics of children
Lively and active
This should be the first answer in most people's minds
But some children
But because of this lively and active
A disease was diagnosed
What the hell is the disease?
The child goes in circles during class
Not lively but ADHD
The mule is almost six years old this year and is in kindergarten. The little guy is lively by nature, and the fun of playing treasure has always been the pistachio of the family. But in the past six months, teachers have been giving feedback to parents that their children are too active in kindergarten.
After taking the child to the hospital for examination, the doctor judged that the child's performance in circles in class was a disease called hyperactivity disorder, which is commonly known as ADHD.
The incidence of ADHD is about 7.2% in children worldwide, about 6.25% in China, and about 23 million children in the country. According to this ratio, on average, there will be 1-2 children in a class with such problems.
Although ADHD can bring many disadvantages to the healthy development of children. But it is not impossible to treat. The current consensus on guidelines for the treatment of ADHD in children is to rely on behavioral training and behavioural management to correct it.
"Hyperactivity" and "hyperactivity" are just a word difference, but there is a huge difference in the health of children. To this end, doctors remind parents that they must distinguish whether their children have ADHD through their daily performance.
Neurodevelopmental disorders are severely low.2
Children urgently need early detection
ADHD, autism, social disorders, tics, these are all names for different diseases, but in fact they all have a collective name, called neurodevelopmental disorders. Compared with common medical diseases such as colds and fevers, such diseases are often more difficult to detect, so the medical treatment rate is seriously insufficient.
Neurodevelopmental disorders refer to the phenomenon of delay, regression or deviation from normal due to damage to the nervous system before the maturity of psychological development due to damage to the nervous system, resulting in the inability to follow the law of children's psychological development.
In China, there are 23 million children with ADHD in neurodevelopmental disorders, but in the actual outpatient clinic, the treatment rate of such diseases is only about 10%. The vast majority of children not only do not receive standardized treatment, but they have not even been found to have the disease.
In addition to neglect, the shame caused by the disease has always plagued the children and their families. "Parents do not realize that it is a disease, but blame the child, which is a disparagement of the child, but also a preconceived notion, from the beginning to go in the wrong direction." Experts say the idea of ignoring or ignoring such diseases and hoping to use time to treat them simply does not work.
In this regard, experts suggest that parents should pay attention to the health of their children while also paying attention to whether their children are developing healthily in terms of spirit and psychology. In addition to regularly checking the child's physical development, pay close attention to whether there are abnormalities between the child and the group.
In addition to the attention of parents, the standardized diagnosis and treatment ability of society for neurodevelopmental disorders also needs to be strengthened. Adults have a very complete range of clinical specialties after illness, but for children, the vast majority of children can only go to the hospital pediatric department for treatment after illness. In general hospitals, there are not many hospitals and doctors who have the ability to diagnose and treat children's neurodevelopmental disorders.
In this regard, experts suggest that the medical and health authorities should increase the improvement of clinical diagnosis and treatment capabilities, not only expand the number of such professional teams and the ability to standardize treatment, in addition, it is also necessary to increase the intensity of science popularization to help schools and parents fully realize the harm and discrimination of neurodevelopmental disorders, only the whole society can mobilize to allow children to run wildly off the track on the road of growth.
