Cause and Intervention in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually occurs in childhood and is characterized by neurodevelopmental disorders. It is characterized by age-inappropriate attention deficit, behavioral hyperactivity and emotional impulsivity, and even accompanied by cognitive impairment. The exact cause of the disease is still unclear. It is generally believed that the incidence is the result of the combined action of biological factors, environmental factors and psychological factors. Therefore, the treatment of ADHD children should take into account multiple factors, various stereoscopic and comprehensive interventions. This article reviews the concept, cause, diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
