Question
Why is a 15-month-old boy so excessively active? It seems he doesn’t care about others’ emotions, acts very strong at home, but outside, he can’t hold his own ground. If someone hits him, he doesn’t resist. Is this ADHD?
Answer
Excessive activity in children does not necessarily indicate ADHD. In addition to being active, ADHD patients also exhibit symptoms such as irritability, inattention, and facial or body tics. If the child’s excessive activity is solely due to their personality, it may not be ADHD. ADHD is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s treatment advice. At the same time, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods to prevent the condition from worsening.
