Child (13) with possible ADHD

[p_brownstone]

Can anyone recommend a Thai Specialist in Bangkok who can evaluate and, if necessary, treat a child who I believe suffers from a form of Attention Deficit Disorder?

Samitivej Srinakarin Children's Hospital has a special clinic for teens with behavioral and/or learning problems http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/medicalservice/childrens/teen_center_89/en

They can conduct comprehensive testing/screening for this

ADHD usually manifests well before age 13, though. If the behaviors that lead you to suspect this are new, you may need to consider the possibility that he is using drugs.

sorry to say, i went to many hospitals in/around Bangkok...

I also went there with my thai wife and my adhd youngster (and also Bangkok Hospital and others)

they can hardly speak English

the thai "help" is prescribing quickly ritalin

behaviour therapy is non excisting in thailand .. play therapy at the most, totally useless

may i suggest you cut out all processed sweets and caffeine drinks first

give that at least two weeks

if already done, please ignore

can children be taught meditation and breathing techniques?
