Hi dear, u can always bring your son to the doctor to help to deal with ADHD...

Usually psychiatrist will prescribe some medication for them to lower down the activeness so the child can be more managable and calm so they can concentrate more in class... (if they think it is needed after assessment)

There are lotsa degree of ADHD-mild, moderate, severe...

Sorry to say but there are no medications to treat/heal ADHD, only medications to control it...

Basically child with ADHD needs to go through behavioural training (usually they will have it in hospital), some might need medications to calm their behaviour and some might need special class. (kelas pemulihan in certain school for special kids, where there's a teacher who only take care of few students plus they have different syllabus)...as ADHD kids (usually moderate and severe are not suitable to be in usual classes as they cant pay attention). To apply for these classes, u will need a doctor to certify and diagnose the child with ADHD and u will need to deal with some documentations...

For now, I think u need to get opinion from specialist to verify that your child is really having ADHD), the reason is:

1) do not label a child with something he doesnt have that he needs to carry with him whole life long...make sure u get the specialist to have a look at him and make the diagnosis...

2) do not just go to a normal GP or any KK doctors as they are not expert in this field, they might know about ADHD but not to a specialised level...

3) If can, go see a child psychiatrist (specialist), they are the one who is dealing with ADHD, autism etc... (psychiatrist doesnt mean the child is crazy, its just that they deal with all the disease relating to chemistry in brain)

Don't be worry, u can always talk to us, we will try to help u...

U also need to be tough as your child depends on u...

Good luck

Seek treatment from PSYCHIATRIST.

Cause psychiatrist gets to make the diagnosis and psychologist don't...ADHD, autism, dyslexia are being review under psychiatrist...Can see paediatrician initially but they will eventually refer back to psychiatrist...adolescent/teenagers with behavior problem (violent, disobedient, vandalism) can refer psychologist la...but let this mom get the right diagnosis first before start anything I suppose is the best option for her and the child now...

And also psychiatrist won't start medication right away. They will assess the child first and some of them might just need rehab and clinic reviews, not necessary meds straight away...

Yup, better go and find a child psychiatrist. Assess and diagnose. Then the child psychiatrist will refer the child to other necessities such as psychologist, speech therapist, social welfare (OKU status) and child occupational therapist altogether...
