ADHD is one of the most common mental health disorders in children. It’s usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood.
Children with ADHD may show symptoms such as:
Having trouble focusing or paying attention
Feeling restlessness or being overly active
Not being able to control impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be)
Children with ADHD might:
Daydream a lot
Forget or lose things
Squirm or fidget
Talk too much
Make careless mistakes or take risks
Have a hard time with saying “no” to things
Have trouble taking turns
Have trouble getting along with others
Some adults have ADHD but have never been diagnosed. The symptoms can cause problems at work, at home or with relationships. Symptoms can also become more severe when the demands of adulthood increase.
Deciding if a child has ADHD is a process with many steps. One step of the process involves having a medical exam, including hearing and vision tests. This helps rule out other problems with symptoms like ADHD.
A care manager can offer you support. Certain things like behavioral therapy, medication and keeping a healthy lifestyle can make it easier to live with symptoms.
