Question
A 12-year-old boy has been experiencing poor mental health recently, and the cause is unknown. I would like to ask, what are the main symptoms of ADHD in children?
Answer
Children with ADHD often exhibit impulsive behavior, such as being capricious and stubborn, having short tempers, and being easily irritated or angered. They may also cry easily, feel guilty, and have frequent outbursts. They may be rebellious, inflexible, and impatient, showing immature behavior and a lack of sense of honor. Some may lie, skip classes, prank others, or run away from home. In some cases, they may develop bad habits. Lastly, during treatment, patients should maintain a healthy diet, have a regular lifestyle, actively participate in physical exercise, maintain good personal hygiene, and avoid infections caused by weakened resistance.
