Question
I’ve noticed that my child has been getting increasingly restless, often moving involuntarily. Upon examination, it turned out that the baby has been diagnosed with ADHD. What are the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children?
Answer
Children with ADHD may have no issues with self-reliance but struggle with emotional and behavioral control. They primarily exhibit symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, emotional impulsiveness, poor academic performance, and difficulty interacting at home and school. For children with ADHD, zinc and selenium supplements can be beneficial as they help reduce lead levels in the body. Trace elements like zinc and selenium can counteract heavy metals. Consuming foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame seeds, dairy products, mushrooms, eggs, garlic, etc., or taking zinc supplements appropriately can be beneficial.
