Question
My son is 11 years old and has always had difficulty concentrating, is not good at communicating with other children, and has poor self-control. The doctor diagnosed him with ADHD. What are the most common clinical manifestations of ADHD?
Answer
Common clinical manifestations of ADHD children include difficulty in concentrating, poor communication skills, and low self-control. Behavioral expressions may include arrogance, impulsiveness, lack of self-discipline, and a tendency to be isolated in group settings, leading to frequent conflicts with others. They may exhibit immature and peculiar behaviors, such as aimless mischief, truancy, fighting, and even lying and stealing. In some cases, personality and behavioral defects may persist into adulthood. There are various treatment methods for ADHD, but not all methods are effective in curing the disease. It is recommended that parents bring their children to a regular hospital for guidance.
