Patient's question:
A 5-year-old and 9-month-old girl, who started walking before she was supposed to. She is very active and has been like this for the past one or two years. She doesn't listen when told what to do. She's not afraid of being punished, but she quickly forgets after a few minutes. How many minutes does she actually stay still while watching TV? She plays with things too roughly. She hits her younger brother every day. She has a hard time getting along with other children and often hits them. I wonder if this could be ADHD?Doctor's answer:
How is the intellectual development of the child? Has the growth and development been tested?ADHD cannot be diagnosed solely based on the symptoms you mentioned. You can go to the pediatric department or child psychology department of the hospital for questionnaire evaluations related to ADHD to make a diagnosis for the child.
Additionally, during the treatment of ADHD, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must supplement vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
