Suggest Treatment For Hyperactivity Disorder A Toddler

20 month old baby appears to be hyperactive, doesn t eat very well, hits, throws things, and climbs. Does not appear to have learning problem. Does not mind parents, no fear throws herself while climbing on furniture like flying. Constant gettting into things until she passes out. May sleep 8 hours if lucky. Any suggestions on how to calm the child?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi madam , yes your child seems to exhibit some of the features of ADHD ( attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder) , but it's a good thing you catch it at this early stage , because psychotherapy and behavioral therapy has the best results when are initiated early , I highly recommend you visit the pediatrician for better assessment and physical exam and might put him on a low dose of psycostimulant which will make the activity less and increase the focus .
I hope this helps
