Patient's question:
My child is five years old. He doesn't like to compete or be overly competitive, is very obedient, and has poor memory—he can't remember a single line of ancient poetry even after repeating it dozens of times. He can sit and watch TV all day without crying or making a fuss. When other children come over, he doesn't snatch toys away even if someone takes his, and instead goes off to play with something else. His expressive ability is very poor. I suspect he might have some intellectual issues.Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), medically known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a common behavioral problem in children. Children with this condition have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit deficiencies in learning, behavior, and emotions, characterized by symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, short attention spans, excessive activity, and impulsive emotions.
