What is ADHD in children?

Patient's question:

Overactivity, poor concentration, unstable emotions, impulsive and willful behavior. Will scream for no reason, impatient, and rush to do things.

Doctor's answer:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is commonly referred to as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is one of the most prevalent mental disorders among children and adolescents. ADHD has three groups of symptoms: attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Some also group impulsivity and hyperactivity together. These children have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit deficits in learning, behavior, and emotions. They may have difficulty concentrating, have short attention spans, be overly active, and be emotionally impulsive, which can affect their academic performance. They often struggle to get along with others at home and school.
Guidance:
It usually begins in early childhood and becomes more apparent when the child starts elementary school. In class, the child constantly fidgets, tears books, scribbles on them until they are unrecognizable, touches everything they can reach, and enjoys provoking others, often fighting with classmates.
Difficulty Concentrating:
The child is not attentive during study time and has a short attention span when listening in class. They react to stimuli from all directions.
Emotional Instability and Impulsivity:
The child may shout for no reason, be impatient, and rush to do things.
Learning Difficulties:
The child has normal intelligence but faces learning difficulties due to hyperactivity.
Doctor's Inquiry:
It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a regular hospital for systematic treatment. Most cases involve behavioral therapy combined with medication, which can gradually improve over time.
