Patient's question:
My friend's child has been diagnosed with ADHD and is currently undergoing treatment. I'm very worried about my own child. My child is usually curious about everything, but when encountering new things, they can concentrate intently. However, when taken outside, they are very quiet.Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding activities: Children with ADHD often exhibit behavior that lacks purpose and is impulsive; mischievous children generally have purpose and reason behind their actions. In terms of self-control: Children with ADHD have relatively poor self-control and are restless and unable to sit still; whereas mischievous children can restrain themselves in unfamiliar environments. Regarding attention: Children with ADHD often have difficulty concentrating and are always distracted; mischievous children, although active, can focus intently on new and interesting things they enjoy, not only by looking, listening, and doing, but also by being annoyed by interruptions.
