What are the conditions for diagnosing ADHD in children?

ADHD is a common chronic disease in children, also known as attention deficit disorder in children with hyperactivity syndrome. Most children begin to show symptoms before the age of 6, such as attention disorder, excessive activity, impulsiveness, and learning difficulties. If not treated in time, it may develop into a mental disorder or even a lifelong disease, seriously affecting the physical and mental health of the child.

Generally, hyperactive children will be more restrained in a quiet environment and calm down when doing something they are interested in. However, children with ADHD are hyperactive regardless of the occasion or environment. Even in a quiet environment, they will jump up and down without any scruples and twist around when watching TV.
