Patient's question:
My son is five years old this year and is particularly energetic. He can't sit still for a moment. I'm really worried if he might have ADHD. Does anyone know what the symptoms of ADHD in children are like?Doctor's answer:
Children with ADHD generally exhibit inattention that is not appropriate for their age, especially excessive small motor movements of the hands and feet. They find it difficult to focus on one thing, whether it's studying or playing, and their butts are always squirming, making it hard for them to sit still. They often run around. If a child suddenly shows these symptoms, there may be a possibility of ADHD, and it is necessary to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination. This condition is usually treated with medication, which is typically central nervous system suppressants.
