Patient's question:
Recently, the teacher of my child told me that my child often fidgets in class. How can I determine if my child has ADHD?Doctor's answer:
There are three characteristics: inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Tasks are often started but not finished. It is difficult to persist in a game. Transitions from one activity to another are too frequent. It frequently shouts loudly in the classroom, fidgets, runs around, and twists in bed. It only has diagnostic significance when he cannot control himself and should not participate in activities such as class time and homework. If there is only hyperactivity without inattention, it cannot be diagnosed as ADHD.
