Is this child showing signs of ADHD?

Patient's question:

The child is in middle kindergarten. When they were in the small class, the teacher reported that they were very active. Now in middle kindergarten, they can't even sit still in their chair; they either crouch or simply sit on the ground. While other children are queuing up, they walk around by themselves. They don't follow the teacher's instructions and prefer to play alone.
Treatment history and effectiveness.

Doctor's answer:

ADHD is generally more common in preschool or school-aged children. It is characterized by attention deficits, constant fidgeting, emotional irritability, tendency to fight, learning difficulties, etc. Based on your description, ADHD cannot be ruled out. Continue to monitor for two months and pay attention to psychological counseling. If it persists repeatedly, medication can be considered, as long as there are no excessive hyperactive symptoms. It is not appropriate to simply label a child as ADHD just because they are active.
