Question
A 7-year-old child is experiencing phenomena such as hand clapping, unclear speech, and eye movement. The parent suspects it may be ADHD. What tests should be conducted?
Answer
The diagnosis of ADHD is typically based on clinical symptoms, including inattention, hyperactivity, talkativeness, difficulty sitting still, impulsive behavior, frequently losing items, and forgetfulness. If a child exhibits these symptoms, the possibility of ADHD should be considered. Additionally, it is recommended to undergo a blood lead test to rule out abnormalities, as this test is relatively inexpensive.
