Patient's question:
When I was a child, I had a high fever. Now, I can't concentrate in class. When doing homework, I like to play with something in my hands.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), is a common behavioral problem in children. It is also referred to as minimal brain dysfunction or minimal brain damage syndrome, or attention deficit disorder. Children with this condition typically have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit deficits in learning, behavior, and emotions. These deficits manifest as difficulty concentrating, short attention spans, excessive activity, and emotional impulsivity, which can affect academic performance. They often struggle to interact with others at home and school, causing difficulties for parents and teachers in daily life.
