At what age can a child be diagnosed with ADHD?

Children between the ages of two and three are very naughty, because they are very curious about everything and often jump around. This will inevitably make parents wonder if their children have ADHD. Children's ADHD usually appears before the age of six, and the symptoms are most obvious during school age. With increasing age, the symptoms of the disease may improve. In this regard, if parents do not need to treat their children, they can also choose massage for mild ADHD.

ADHD is a common behavioral problem in childhood. The disease has two main symptoms, namely attention disorder and hyperactivity, which may be accompanied by impulsive behavior and learning difficulties. The disease usually starts before the age of 6, with symptoms becoming more obvious during school age and gradually improving with age. Some cases may continue into adulthood.

There are two methods of treatment: Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine is quick to take effect, but has serious side effects and can cause dependence. Traditional Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, but has no side effects and is the method used by most hospitals. You can use massage combined with zinc supplements, through acupuncture or kneading specific acupoints on the human body, to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, adjusting yin and yang, regulating the heart and kidneys, and strengthening the brain and calming the mind.

Acupoints for massage include Baihui, Jiaosun, Shuigu, Fengfu, Shenting, Tianzhu, Xinshu, Shenshu, Tanzhong, Guanyuan, Hegu, Shenmen, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan, etc. Massage about 100 times each time, and it is best to achieve a feeling of soreness, numbness, swelling, heaviness or slight pain (any one feeling is also OK). 10 days is a course of treatment, and generally 5-10 courses are used.
