Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of ADHD in a three-year-old baby? My baby might have ADHD, so I want to ask what the symptoms are.Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of ADHD typically needs to be made after the child is six years old. If hyperactivity-impulsivity persists after the age of six, or if there are severe symptoms of inattention, and the symptoms persist for more than six months, then ADHD can be considered. For a three-year-old child, it is generally not possible to diagnose ADHD under normal circumstances. Under normal circumstances, a three-year-old child's attention span is relatively short, and they are relatively easily distracted. Sitting still for long periods is not easy. Therefore, there may be some hyperactive behaviors, but it may not necessarily be ADHD.
