If you have kids, chances are you’ve wondered whether at least one has ADHD? Yes, kids are hyper by nature, but what are the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. For starters, you should look for these 3 symptoms. First, inattention, which is having a short attention span and being easily distracted. Impulsivity, which can cause a person to do dangerous or unwise things without thinking about the consequences. And hyperactivity, which is inappropriate or excessive activity. These symptoms affect people in all age groups who have ADHD. But keep in mind that several other conditions may have similar symptoms to ADHD, like bipolar disorder. So it’s best to check with your child’s doctor for a proper diagnosis.
