My son used to be very disciplined in doing everything, but now he seems to have no patience and acts without thinking. He often gets into fights with his classmates at school when he’s happy. I’m worried that my child might have ADHD. What are the main characteristics of children with ADHD?
Answer
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common psychological disorder in children, characterized by inattention, short attention span, hyperactivity, and excessive guilt, which are disproportionate to their age and developmental level. It often accompanies learning difficulties, behavioral disorders, and endocrine imbalances. In terms of treatment, a comprehensive assessment and intervention plan should be formulated based on the patient’s and their family’s situation. Wishing the patients a speedy recovery and a healthy body and beautiful life.
