Patient's question:
I have a friend whose daughter has a very cute child. They came to my house for a few days this week. Gradually, I noticed some differences between him and other babies. He is often restless and can't stay quiet. My friend said that this behavior might be a sign of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). What is ADHD in children?Doctor's answer:
Children having ADHD has certain genetic factors, and another reason could be a lack of some vitamins in their bodies. For example, if a child is not getting enough nutrition, it can lead to difficulties in concentration, which may gradually result in the development of ADHD. You can first take the child to the hospital for a vitamin check-up to see what is lacking and then promptly address this issue through supplementation. For ADHD, treatment can also be administered based on a doctor's diagnosis to help the child return to normal as soon as possible.
