Patient's question:
Symptoms of ADHD in 8-month-old infantsDoctor's answer:
Children with ADHD often exhibit abnormal behaviors during infancy, such as being easily excitable, having difficulty with feeding, and struggling to develop regular habits for bowel and bladder control. Later on, their activity levels increase, and their movements become less coordinated, particularly in fine motor skills. They also have poor attention span, purposeless behavior, and are easily impulsive with a lack of self-control. However, an eight-month-old baby being particularly mischievous, restless, and unable to stay still does not necessarily indicate ADHD. This is a normal physiological phenomenon in children. The baby was born with a certain weight, and their cerebral cortex is not yet fully developed, making them more prone to sympathetic nervous system excitement. It is advisable to continue monitoring the situation.
