Patient's question:
My child just started first grade. The teacher says he is very hyperactive at school and suspects he might have ADHD. But I've always thought he's just mischievous and didn't think it would be ADHD. However, after the teacher mentioned it, I'm also a bit worried, so I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of ADHD in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD primarily exhibit attention deficits, which cannot be sustained for long periods. They are particularly hyperactive, overly active, and have small motor skills, making it difficult for them to play quietly. They tend to be more impulsive in their actions and may have certain cognitive impairments and learning difficulties, which can help in determining whether an infant has ADHD. It is recommended that you have your child checked by a doctor. If there are any issues, please address them promptly. This can also improve the effectiveness of treatment for the child. Parents should pay close attention to their child's emotions on a daily basis and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
