Could Your Child Have ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)? What to Look For

In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains key things you need to know about ADHD in children. ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental condition. It can make it harder for a child to concentrate, sit still, or control impulses—and often impacts learning, behavior, and family life. In this video, Dr O’Donovan, a medical doctor and educator, explains what ADHD in children really looks like, how it’s diagnosed, and what support is available. We’ll cover the key signs and symptoms of ADHD, including inattentiveness (such as being easily distracted or forgetful), hyperactivity (like fidgeting or constantly moving), and impulsivity (acting without thinking or interrupting others). Many children have a mix of symptoms, and ADHD can present differently in boys and girls—meaning it’s sometimes underdiagnosed in girls, who may seem “daydreamy” rather than disruptive. You'll learn what to expect during an ADHD assessment for children—whether that’s through a GP, pediatrician, or school referral in the UK, or through a primary care provider, psychologist, or developmental specialist in the US. We’ll also explore ADHD treatment for children, including behavioral therapy, parent training, school support, and ADHD medication options such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) or lisdexamfetamine (Elvanse/Vyvanse). Managing ADHD is a team effort. This video is here to help parents, carers, and teachers understand the condition and access the support their child needs to thrive—at home, at school, and in life.
