Child diagnosed with ADHD, feeling like the sky is falling

Child diagnosed with ADHD, feeling like the sky is falling

 

My sister, who was diagnosed with ADHD, said her world has collapsed.
Thinking about that moment still makes me dizzy.
My nephew has always looked anxious even to those who are not experts since he was young. He instinctively picks up and eats food that falls on the table. What happens to him? Is he not feeling well?
You have to come pick me up after I finish going to the daycare.
He was the type of child who had to come by a certain time.
Then, a slight tic symptom appeared.
Thanks to my precious child, even a small action made me realize it could be a tic symptom, so I made an appointment with a pediatric psychiatrist for a consultation.
But suddenly, I suspect that the child may have ADHD.
It was so shocking and like a bolt from the blue, but since the doctor said so, I had no choice but to undergo the tests.
When you think of ADHD, you might imagine being a bit distracted and such, right?
My nephew was the complete opposite of that, so I was really surprised.

I conducted questionnaire and play tests, including question-and-answer assessments, targeting my nephew.
I conducted a questionnaire survey for parents.
It was difficult to manipulate the answers to repetitive questions.

Anyway, the test results show that I don't need medication, but I do have ADHD!!
The doctor advised that it is not yet time to take medication or undergo treatment, and suggested monitoring the progress. They recommended behavioral therapy and orthodontic treatment, so we are currently working on that.

I'm not worried that I have ADHD, so I don't feel like my symptoms have improved, but I have no choice but to trust and follow the treatment, so I feel a bit frustrated.

Childhood ADHD can also lead to adult ADHD, so we are closely monitoring the situation, and the whole family is focused on the child.

Fortunately, I can feel that the child is gradually stabilizing and reducing anxiety, so I believe the ADHD is also easing.
I hope you recover quickly before reaching the point of taking medication.
If you are delaying because you are afraid of receiving a diagnosis, please never do that.

ADHD is not a mental illness, nor is there a need to worsen the condition.

    나아지고 있다니 다행이에요. 
    ADHD는 충분히 나아질 수 있어요. 
    주위에서도 도와주시고 작은 증상도 지나치지 않고 잘 관찰하신 덕에 검사도 잘 받으셔서 치료하고 계시니 조카 더 건강히 잘 자랄거에요!
    저도 아들이 약간 증상이 있다고 미술치료 권유 받았는데 제가 아픈 바람에 제대로 관심을 못갖고 아이도 제가 아플때 심리가 불안할 때 검사를 한거여서 일단 지켜보자 하는 중안데 아직은 심한건 아니라 지켜보고 있어요. 
    처음에 그 심정 어떠셨을지 아니까 이제 더 잘자라주길 더욱 기도할게요!!

      아파서 관심을 못가져서 그런가 맘이 더 불편하셨겠어요
      옛날 같으면 모르고 지났을 일일 수도 있는데 그래도 걱정이죠
      공감해주시고 위로 주셔서 감사해요

    제 주변에도 그런 아이가 있어서 치료과정을 지켜보고 있는데 부모 뿐만 아니라 학교나 주변인들의 많은 관심이 필요하더군요.

      심한 상태는 아니지만 어른 마음은 심하고 안하고의 문제는 아닌거 같아요

    주변에도 ADHD가 많더라구요
    아니라고 부정하지마시고 조기에 병원 가서 검사 받고 그에 맞게 치료하는게 맞는거 같아요
    조카가 많이 좋아지고 있다니 다행입니다
