Patient's question:
The little baby upstairs in my building is really full of energy. He's never still for a moment, except when he's sleeping during his nap. When he comes to visit my house, there's nothing he doesn't move. His mom is always chasing him around, never daring to turn back for a second. My husband says he might have ADHD, but what exactly is ADHD in children like?Doctor's answer:
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by attention-deficit and hyperactivity. Typically, early symptoms may reappear as an inability to stop. They may exhibit eccentric behavior and act impulsively. Moreover, they often feel a strong sense of guilt. Some children may even struggle to play with other kids. In practice, they have difficulty listening and engage in excessive fidgeting. It is essential to seek medical diagnosis as soon as possible, which may include head CT scans and other tests for differential diagnosis and confirmation.
