Patient's question:
What are the severe symptoms of ADHD?Doctor's answer:
ADHD is more common in school-aged children, with males being more affected than females. In infancy, there may be specific manifestations such as a lack of interest in feeding, leading to prolonged failure in weight gain; intense struggles and constant body twisting during crying; excessive activity after learning to walk, restlessness, and carelessness in playing with toys, as well as throwing and scattering them; frequent temper tantrums and difficulty getting along with others. It generally does not worsen over time. In class, they cannot concentrate, engage in excessive fidgeting, break rules, have difficulty maintaining focus, and struggle to complete homework; they exhibit emotional instability, impulsivity, and poor self-control. Intelligence is normal, but academic performance is poor.
