Hello, childhood ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) belongs to the category of attention deficit disorders. It often manifests as impulsive and hyperverbal behavior in inappropriate settings, difficulty concentrating, learning difficulties, and emotional impulsivity. This condition is related to genetic factors, perinatal diseases, and adverse environmental influences such as social and family factors. If a child shows signs of ADHD, it is recommended to take them to the pediatric health department of a provincial hospital for further behavioral assessment and intelligence testing.
