The speaker, Lee Se-seok, is discussing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its symptoms. He explains that ADHD is not diagnosed through a psychological evaluation or a paid test, but rather through a systematic diagnosis. He emphasizes that the symptoms must persist for more than six months to be classified as ADHD.
Lee introduces the DSL diagnostic system, which is widely used worldwide, including in the United States and Korea. This system identifies nine symptoms that can be indicative of ADHD. These symptoms include difficulty paying attention during activities, making careless mistakes, and having trouble focusing during tasks or games.
Lee provides examples of these symptoms in daily life, such as forgetting to bring snacks or drinks while running errands, failing to complete tasks on time, and having difficulty maintaining focus during activities. He also mentions that children with ADHD often struggle with tasks that require sustained attention, such as completing workbooks.
Lastly, Lee mentions that children with ADHD often forget everyday things and have difficulty remembering names or specific details. He concludes by stating that if these symptoms persist for more than six months, it may be necessary to consider a professional diagnosis.
