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

Doctor's Answers 1

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 .

Hi, From the photo, you may have a benign skin condition called “lichen spinulosus”. The cause is not known and it is not contagious. The condition is harmless. Moisturizers and topical retinoids may help improve the appearance. Do see a doctor if the condition really bothers you and if you wish for some prescription creams to help improve it.

If certain types of fish are known to have high mercury levels, does it mean that we should avoid them completely to prevent harming our bodies?

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal which is widely dispersed in nature. Most human exposure results from fish consumption or dental amalgam. Human exposure to the vapour of metallic mercury dates back to antiquity but continues today in occupational settings and from dental amalgam. Health risks from methylmercury in edible tissues of fish have been the subject of several large epidemiological investigations and continue to be the subject of intense debate. Mercury is most notable for its neurological effects. Too much mercury can cause numbness, memory issues, anxiety, low mood, and tremors.
