Does the "demon boy" Nezha have ADHD? You will understand everything after reading this!

In the hit movie Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King, Nezha is impulsive, irritable, and has a quick temper. However, Ao Bing is calm and gentle. Why are the two people of the same age so different in character? Some people may wonder if Nezha has ADHD. In fact, ADHD is far more complicated than we think.

Nezha in the movie shows some characteristics similar to ADHD, such as impulsiveness, high energy, and difficulty controlling emotions. However, it should be noted that ADHD cannot be diagnosed simply based on the behavior of movie characters, and Nezha is not ADHD. The reason is that although he is naughty, this behavior can be controlled and is not hyperactivity regardless of the occasion. He can basically abide by the rules in solemn occasions such as the "Yuxu Palace".

Moreover, his actions are planned, unlike children with ADHD who deal with things in a mess. When he heard that Chentangguan was massacred, he did not act impulsively but first obtained the tablets of the gods according to the plan, and then went to avenge his parents. So Nezha is not ADHD.

Hunan Provincial People's Hospital introduced that ADHD is not just "being active". ADHD, full name Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder . Its core symptoms include: inattention, difficulty concentrating, easy distraction, forgetfulness; hyperactivity, difficulty calming down, frequent small movements, and talking too much; impulsiveness, doing things without considering the consequences, easy to interrupt others, and difficulty waiting. The manifestations of ADHD vary from person to person. Some people may be mainly inattentive, some may be mainly hyperactive and impulsive, and some may have both.

ADHD is a treatable disease. The earlier the intervention, the better the effect. Once ADHD is diagnosed, it needs to be treated correctly under the guidance of a doctor. It is worth noting that parents play an important role in the treatment of ADHD. Parents of children with ADHD need to learn about ADHD: understand the characteristics and treatment methods of ADHD, avoid misunderstandings and excessive blame; establish a structured family environment: formulate clear rules and schedules to help children better manage time and behavior; maintain patience and a positive attitude: the treatment of ADHD is a long-term process, and parents need to give their children enough support and encouragement.

ADHD is not "naughty" or "character problem", but a disease that needs understanding and attention. Through scientific treatment and support from the whole society, ADHD patients can also find their own wonderful life.
