Dr. Nabong is a primary pediatrician not a ADHD specialist.
At KidsHealth Pediatrics, Dr. Maria Nabong sees many children whose parents are concerned about their children having ADHD or ADD. You’ve likely heard about these common childhood disorders but may be unaware of the symptoms or the difference between the two. Some basic facts about ADD and ADHD are in this post!
Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder is considered a behavioral disorder that affects between 5 and 10% of children. Symptoms commonly include restlessness, fidgeting, lack of interest or focus, and impulsive actions. A child with ADHD may be unable to sit still during class, particularly if the subject is one they aren’t interested in learning. They may snap their fingers, tap their feet on the floor, or make excessive noise in places where everyone else is quiet. Although your Scottsdale pediatrician Dr. Nabong reminds parents that all children display these types of behaviors from time to time, ADHD is considered when the behaviors continue over a long period of time in various settings – school, home, or in public places – and affect the way they interact with others.
In many ways, ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder, mimics ADHD. The major difference is that hyperactivity is negligible or absent. Clinically, ADD is known as the “inattentive subtype” of ADHD. A child with ADD may be very calm and collected but unable to adequately focus or complete tasks, giving others the impression that they are “zoned out.” This may make their condition less evident; parents may also be mistakenly concerned that their child has a learning disability.
