Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that is characterized by attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and inability to control one's behavior (impulsiveness). It often starts in childhood and can cause a child to struggle in school, at home, or in social relationships. It is more common in male children. The causes of ADHD remain unclear but risk factors include genetic factors, tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, and low birth weight.
Transient restlessness (behavioral abnormalities)
Abnormal behavior
Stressed over daily life
Feeling more sensitive or irritable

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Have you noticed or been told that you have been acting strangely, differently from usual?
Do you feel psychologically stressed (for example, you clearly hate going to work or school)?
Do you feel more sensitive or irritable?
Do you often feel uneasy and restless? Like you are unable to feel calm or at peace?
There is no cure for ADHD, but various treatments such as medications, behavior therapy, counseling, and education services can help improve the child's symptoms and behavior.
