Patient's question:
The child has just started primary school. The teacher said the child is not focused in class, can't sit still, and worries that the child might have ADHD.Doctor's answer:
ADHD has many manifestations, such as poor academic performance. These children are usually of normal intelligence but perform poorly in school. Difficulty concentrating is the most prominent issue in children with ADHD. For example, children often cannot focus on anything. Essentially, starting and finishing tasks, shifting from one idea to another, without parental supervision, is impossible. You can take your child to a regular hospital for a check-up.
