Patient's question:
Hello. My daughter is now 30 days old. Recently, I've noticed that her hands and feet are crying or fussing. During the "growth spurt" period, she sometimes has slight tremors. When sleeping, she occasionally rubs her hands together as if she wants to wake up but doesn't. It looks very uncomfortable. I wanted to ask what could be causing this...Doctor's answer:
The prevalence rate of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children is approximately 5% to 10%. It is more common in school-aged children, accounting for about 1% to 10% of all primary school students. Boys are more affected than girls, and premature infants are more likely to be affected than full-term infants. Currently, the diagnosis of ADHD in children can be divided into three aspects: neurophysiological testing, behavioral assessment, and psychological testing. When a child exhibits symptoms such as hyperactivity or inattention, it is essential to make a clear differentiation. Do not hastily conclude that the child has ADHD or resort to desperate measures.
