Patient's question:
My child is always restless and has difficulty concentrating. I suspect they might have ADHD. What are the common symptoms of ADHD in infants?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom is attention, which can first be observed. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by poor executive attention function, which makes it difficult for people to consciously focus on a specific activity or task. Moreover, they are easily distracted by any minor changes in the external environment, shifting their attention to irrelevant matters. Inability to concentrate, scattered thoughts, losing focus regardless of the situation, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are common. Some children with ADHD may not exhibit hyperactive symptoms in any environment, but their ADHD behaviors can even be more pronounced under demanding or restrictive conditions.
