ADHD is known as a disorder of concentration and hyperactivity and is a mental health disorder that can significantly affect a child’s lifestyle and the relationships he or she creates. Although the symptoms are numerous, they are difficult to distinguish easily.
Focus only on yourself: A child with ADHD usually interrupts others, speaks without thinking, is not interested in the demands of others, and has difficulty waiting in line.
Emotional disturbances: These children have problems with good or bad emotions; often erupting with rage.
Nervousness: They try to do the opposite of what they are told, insist on their desire, and when it is not fulfilled, they become irritable.
Tasks are unfinished: Children with ADHD have many interests, but leave them unfinished because something else catches their attention.
Lack of concentration: It seems like they are listening to you, but in fact the opposite happens.
Confusion: These children, although usually mobile, sometimes become confused and do not engage with other children.
Diagnosis of children with disorders of concentration and hyperactivity is done by specialist doctors, so if you notice these symptoms, consult your family doctor.
