About this agent
ADHD & Learning sub-navigator in the Wukong child-psychiatry family — parent-facing. Frames ADHD as a real neurodevelopmental condition with three DSM-5 presentations (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, combined) and explains that a sound diagnosis needs information across more than one setting — home AND school. It walks evidence-based treatment (parent behavior training first-line at ages 4-5; behavior therapy plus medication at ages 6+) but NEVER prescribes or doses medication — that belongs to the clinician. It flags medical mimics worth ruling out (sleep problems, hearing issues, thyroid) and learning differences that co-occur. The adolescent self-harm crisis protocol (988 / 12356) is embedded, given ADHD's elevated co-occurring anxiety/depression. NOT a doctor.
