Correct Answer: Serious problem and medical therapy
Description: C i.e. Serious problem and medical therapy The child is suffereing from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which may persist into adolescent o adult life in 50% of cases. In remaining 50%, it may remit (usually paially) at pubey or early adulthood (between ages of 12 and 20). Remission is unlikely before the age of 12 yearsQ. Most patients with ADHD (even with paial remission) are vulnerable to antisocial behaviour, substance use disorders, learning problems, mood disorders, and conduct disordersQ. They remain impulsive, accident prone; have social disfunction & chaotic family history. (This means the problem is serious).Optimal outcomes may be promoted by ameliorating children's social functioning, diminished aggression, and improving family situations as early as possible. Pharmacological treatment is considered to be the first line of treatment for ADHDQ.
