I have had a lot of difficulty with activities with a child suspected of having ADHD.

I would like to share a story about the treatment process for a child with ADHD.
To start with the conclusion, it is necessary to observe the child's behavior on a daily basis, and
It is important to promptly receive appropriate treatment through a medical examination.
I have experience working in a team that operates businesses targeting children.
The primary target was economically disadvantaged children, and among them, those with vulnerable areas
It was a job of connecting the children with appropriate external resources.
ADHD is one of the diseases that frequently appears in children these days, and depending on the child's condition
In some cases, only a simple consultation is conducted, but in severe cases of ADHD, medication must be taken after a medical examination.
There are cases where it happens.
The child I dealt with had severe ADHD, so they needed medical treatment.
The grandparents were the primary caregivers, and the child had an intellectual disability.
I usually couldn't focus on school life and had a lot of difficulty forming relationships with my peers.
I thought it was behavior caused by a disability, but it got worse as the grade level increased.
Eventually, even at the school, talk began to emerge that there were many difficulties in managing school life due to the child's hyperactivity.
Eventually, it escalated to the point where even violent tendencies were revealed.
I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with ADHD.
Naturally, the diagnosis was that I needed to take medication, and weekly counseling for ADHD treatment was also conducted at the hospital.
As the child started taking the medication, I could see that hyperactivity and aggression were decreasing.
The problem was that my child couldn't eat well at all. The biggest side effect of the ADHD medication was loss of appetite.
So, I needed time to find the right medicine for myself.
After several visits, consultations, and switching medications, we finally found the right medicine for the child.
I have been taking it for a year now, and I can see gradual changes. I am eating well, and the side effects have decreased.
I think the most important thing about ADHD is not to worry, but to go to a hospital for a consultation and receive the appropriate treatment.
