Hi,
Anyone has good idea about ADHD, How i can Judge my child has the problem of ADHD
Issue, I am confuse to decide He has or Not.

I can't find the good doctor in Jeddah.

How old is he and why do you think he has ADHD or is there any specific symptoms that prompted you to think that its ADHD. If he is small - less than 6 yrs of age this might be normal.

I would recommend first to show him to an ENT specialist to check his hearing, eye and may be a Pediatrician for general consultation before showing him to a specialist in ADHD.

1. Take log time to understand like English Frame sentence or Math concept.
2. He can't sit one place long time. for study , not only 10-15 min. also, finding excuse to leave the place

I have kids, my youngest is in grade 2 and comparatively slower than the other in terms of framing sentences and maths. She might be faster than others in learning,but I am sure every student has their pace and takes time in learning. If you are convinced its ADHD, I would still recommend you to approach a child specialist first and ask his / her opinion before proceeding for treatment with ADHD.

I dont believe there are good child psychiatrists in KSA , your best option will be take him to your home country for treatment purposes.

I would advise Dr. ADEL WAGIH FAHMY SERAG in soliman fakieh hospital - PSYCHIATRY CLINIC.
He is an experienced professional.
