Untreated or poorly managed ADHD in children can lead to various long-term effects and complications.
These may include difficulties in developing and maintaining social skills, academic underachievement, increased risk of substance abuse, and impaired executive functioning.
It is important to address these issues through appropriate interventions and alternative treatments.
Common misconceptions about ADHD should be dispelled, and effective communication with the child's school and teachers is crucial in ensuring proper support and accommodations are provided for their educational needs.
