What is ADHD in children?

Patient's question:

My nephew has always been very active and energetic, but recently he's been quite restless, loves to talk a lot, and I wonder if he might have ADHD?

Doctor's answer:

According to children's symptoms, ADHD is also known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or mild brain dysfunction syndrome, which is a common behavioral disorder in children. These children have normal or near-normal intelligence but exhibit deficiencies in learning, behavior, and emotions. The main symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, emotional impulsivity, poor academic performance, and difficulty getting along with others at home and school. Parents and teachers often feel helpless in daily life. The prevalence rate of ADHD in children abroad is 5% to 10%, while domestic surveys show it exceeds 10%, with boys being more affected than girls.
