Patient's question:
Is it possible for a 4-year-old child to have ADHD? They are very mischievous and can't sit still for a moment, then they have difficulty concentrating, and most importantly, they are very irritable.Doctor's answer:
Children often disturb or interfere with others' activities, such as interrupting family conversations or the teacher in class; climbing up and down without considering danger, emotional instability, temper tantrums, or crying; being very troublesome over minor dissatisfaction. When being taught, they become impatient. In severe cases, there may be resistance and aggressive behavior. If children do not receive timely ADHD correction and treatment, during adolescence, they are easily likely to become rebellious youth, or even develop conduct disorder or even criminal behavior, and cause accidents in the process. More people will be injured. These children are rarely able to receive higher education when they grow up, and are more likely to drop out of school, be fired, or even have traffic accidents and marriage. Depression, antisocial personality disorder may also occur.
