Patient's question:
The child is now in kindergarten, and the teacher has reported that the child is always restless. She suggested taking the child to the hospital for a check-up, fearing it might be attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I am quite busy with work, so is there any good method to test it at home? Can the ADHD test accurately and thoroughly check it out?Doctor's answer:
It's still better to go to the hospital for testing if you suspect your child has ADHD. Then, have the doctor provide systematic treatment. Your child's ADHD symptoms are somewhat severe, such as difficulty sitting still in quiet settings, constant physical movement, easily experiencing excitement and a sense of guilt, needing immediate gratification, otherwise becoming emotionally agitated, talkative and noisy, and unable to remain calm. Although their intelligence is not a problem, they cannot engage in normal learning activities.
