There are some students around us. They are energetic and active all day. At home, they jump up and down, rummage through boxes and cabinets, which is a "naughty bag" that gives parents a headache; At school, they talk and make small moves in class. After class, they quarrel with their classmates and make trouble, which has become a "thorn in the eye" of teachers. People usually say, "the children in this family are so active that they must have ADHD." So, is hyperactivity necessarily ADHD?
In fact, in medicine, there is such a kind of behavior disorder, which is called "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder", that is, what we often call "hyperactivity disorder". It is estimated that three to five out of every 100 children may suffer from ADHD, usually more boys than girls. "ADHD" is not a heinous guy. Da Vinci, the great painter and scientist of the Italian Renaissance, was thought to suffer from "ADHD" in his childhood. Five of the 44 presidents of the United States had "ADHD" in their childhood. American swimmer Michael Phelps, who won eight gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, was also diagnosed with "ADHD" by doctors when he was young.
Modern medicine believes that "ADHD" usually has the characteristics of "attention deficit" and "hyperactivity", accompanied by emotional instability, impulsivity and other symptoms, which are different from the traditional concept of "ADHD". "ADHD" has a set of systematic diagnostic criteria in medicine, which must be diagnosed by a specialist.
Lively and active is the nature of children. They are energetic and curious about the new things around them. Moreover, everyone has his own personality characteristics. Some people are introverted and quiet, while others are extroverted and lively. To see whether a child has ADHD, we should seek the help of a specialist, rather than simply label the active child with ADHD.
