Dr. Xie Zixing
In 3-year-old children, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) manifests as inattention, excessive physical activity, and irritability. Affected children are unable to sit still; even when seated, they frequently exhibit numerous small, restless movements. ADHD may arise from genetic factors or result from maternal exposure to certain medications during pregnancy. Once diagnosed, prompt intervention is essential to prevent academic difficulties and adverse effects on personality development.
