Question
My son is 5 years old and he is always restless, whether he is sitting or lying down, and he expresses discomfort. Could this be a symptom of ADHD?
Answer
If a child is particularly active and also exhibits symptoms of inattention, picky eating, and irritability, it may be necessary to consider ADHD. It’s important to show concern for the child through persuasive education and help him develop good living habits, such as reducing the time spent watching TV and cartoons. Avoid correcting the child with scolding methods, and zinc supplements can be taken orally if necessary. In severe cases, medication may be required.
