Some mothers and dads from the earliest age put their child such a diagnosis, if their baby is unresponsive and inattentive. Meanwhile, ADHD is a serious disease and can be established by a doctor only after a complete examination of the baby and not before 4-5 years of age.
In this article, we will talk about what symptoms may indicate ADHD, what to do and what diagnostic methods should be used to confirm this disease.
Symptoms of ADHD
The main symptoms indicative of attention deficit disorder are the following:
- hyperactivity;
- impulsiveness;
- inattention;
- anxiety;
- depression;
- anxiety.
Children with this disease can not sit still, constantly worry and worry about trifles, talk a lot, and the answers are often answered inappropriately. Older children suffering from ADHD can be taken for several cases in a row, without completing any of them.
What can cause ADHD and how to diagnose it?
The causes of ADHD have not yet been accurately established. Meanwhile, the proven fact is the genetic nature of this disease. Every child who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder necessarily has a family member with the same problem. In addition, in the case of having ADHD in one of the twins,
A special test for ADHD is absent, so the diagnosis of this syndrome is difficult. Some characteristic symptoms can be only certain stages in the development of the baby. A neurologist doctor, before making a diagnosis, should observe the child for at least 6 months in a row, assessing his neurological and psychological status.
Correction of this problem is done by psychologists and doctors. In most cases, with the age of the manifestations of this disease gradually fade, but sometimes ADHD can worsen the quality of life even of adults.
