Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of ADHD in a 5-year-old child? My daughter is always moving, and I'm wondering if she might have ADHD. What are the common symptoms of ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Children being active is not necessarily ADHD. Some babies are just full of energy and play non-stop every day. Don't jump to conclusions. If you encounter hyperactivity in young children, don't assume your child has ADHD and label mischievous children with a "diagnosis." Parents must be clear about this. If you still have concerns, it's better to go to a local regular and professional children's hospital for a re-examination and let the doctor make the determination.
