How to know if a child has ADHD?

Patient's question:

My little troublemaker is particularly rambunctious and can never be still. No matter where I am, he's always in a whirl. The only time he's quiet is when he's sleeping. As soon as he wakes up, he starts moving, restless with his hands and feet. Even when eating, he can't sit still and keeps fidgeting. If I ask him to sit quietly for a moment, he starts crying and fussing. Is it possible he has ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

A child's nature is naturally lively. Some children are introverted, so they may become less active. If some children are extroverted, they may be a bit mischievous. It's not because he is more lively that he says he has ADHD. If parents are more concerned, they can take him to the pediatric neurology department of a children's hospital for a brain topography examination. The child's current condition must be checked early and treated according to the doctor's advice, so that the effect will be better.
