Question
What are the characteristics of ADHD? Uncle’s child has been diagnosed with ADHD and is undergoing treatment. The family is struggling financially and is applying for the “Guardian Angel” public assistance program. They hope to understand the characteristics of ADHD symptoms.
Answer
ADHD is characterized by symptoms such as hyperactivity, inattention, and scribbling. A child may exhibit behaviors such as lack of social interaction, impulsiveness, odd behavior, and physical tics. In some cases, there may also be adult and personality defects. ADHD typically occurs before the age of 6. If a child just enjoys playing games, it may not necessarily be ADHD, but any concerns can be discussed with professionals.
