Patient's question:
My child is very active and mischievous by nature. When he talks, it's like opening a floodgate—hard to stop. I read online that this behavior might be a sign of ADHD. How can I tell if my child has ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition. Its main manifestations include: squinting, shaking the head, shrugging, waving the hands, nodding, kicking legs, twisting the body, and unconsciously uttering swear words, among others. Severe cases may also be accompanied by a hoarse voice and the involuntary production of abnormal sounds like "hmm," "ah," or "cough." In the past, due to a lack of familiarity with the condition, some parents believed their children were possessed and attempted various methods to "exorcise" it, but to no avail. If you suspect that a child has ADHD, it is essential to undergo scientific and authoritative thorough examinations. Patients should face the dangers of ADHD head-on, and we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments without avoiding medical visits. If ADHD does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
