Patient's question:
This child is restless, with wandering eyes. He plays with a toy, sees something new, and immediately puts down the toy in his hand to play with the new thing. In this way, the child walks around in my room almost non-stop.Doctor's answer:
The genetic factors contributing to ADHD should not be overlooked. Approximately 40% of children with ADHD also have the condition among their parents, siblings, and other relatives. The incidence of ADHD symptoms is significantly higher in monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins. Over half of ADHD siblings (same mother) and high rates among heterosexual couples, in-laws, and fathers also have the condition, exceeding the prevalence in ordinary children. Therefore, experts recommend that marriage should take place at an appropriate time. Pregnant women should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations during pregnancy, smoking, drinking alcohol, consuming spicy foods, and undergoing natural childbirth. If your child exhibits symptoms such as inattention or impulsivity, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for examination and subsequent treatment.
