Patient's question:
When I was a child, I talked late, walked late, had hyperactive hands and feet, and couldn't sit still while watching TV—I kept pacing back and forth, and when excited, I couldn't stop jumping. Now, I can't concentrate in class, have very poor comprehension, and my grades are very bad.Doctor's answer:
ADHD, also known as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Minimal Brain Dysfunction Syndrome, is a condition where children have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit defects in learning, behavior, and emotions. The main symptoms include poor concentration, short attention span, excessive activity, emotional impulsivity, and generally poor academic performance. Currently, the primary treatment for ADHD is medication.
