Question
What are the severe symptoms of ADHD?
Answer
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is commonly seen in school-aged children, with more males affected than females. In infancy, there may be some special manifestations, including a lack of interest in breastfeeding, leading to a long-term lack of weight gain; intense crying and struggling with body twists during tantrums; increased activity levels after learning to walk, being restless, not focusing on playing with toys, and throwing them around aimlessly; being easily irritable and not fitting in with others. Generally, these symptoms do not worsen over time. In class, they struggle to pay attention to lectures, perform many small movements, fail to follow discipline, are inattentive, and have difficulty completing assignments; they have unstable emotions, are easily impulsive, and have poor self-control abilities. Their intelligence is normal, but their academic performance is not good.
