Patient's question:
My child is particularly mischievous. My mother-in-law says this mischievousness is inherited from his father, who used to be the same way, but he turned out fine later. However, the school teacher couldn't take it anymore and said to go to the hospital quickly, as there are several students like this every year! What are the symptoms of ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Children with this disease have a short attention span and are easily distracted. They usually cannot filter out irrelevant stimuli and respond to various stimuli. Therefore, when children are listening in class, doing homework, or doing other things, their attention is often difficult to maintain for a long time, thus distracting them. They are often distracted by movement in the surrounding environment, looking around, or picking things up; things often don't last long, and they often do one thing at a time. If one thing is not done, they will do another; it is difficult to complete tasks that require following instructions; they often fail to pay attention to details when doing things, often making mistakes due to carelessness; they usually intentionally avoid or are unwilling to meet a need for a task that requires long-term concentration.
