How can I know if my child has ADHD if he is constantly running around?

There are certain facts one needs to establish eg how old is your child ? Age appropriate behavior is something you need to be aware of - meaning at a different age we expect maturity to take place and hence this concern is best answered in discussion with a doctor who can then observe your child and interview more extensively to come to a conclusion .
