Patient's question:
15-year-old boy, 9 months old, is particularly active, and he doesn't know how to read other people's expressions. He is very stubborn at home. Outside, he is completely different. If someone hits him, he doesn't resist. Is it ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Simply relying on a child's hyperactivity cannot diagnose ADHD. Children with ADHD, in addition to being hyperactive, may also exhibit irritability, difficulty concentrating, and involuntary movements of the mouth, nose, and eyes. If a child is simply hyperactive, it may be related to their personality. ADHD is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for targeted treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent the condition from worsening.
