ADHD in Children Under 5

Your Friendly Child Psychiatrist: Dr Taghrid

Have you ever found yourself puzzled by the energy and unpredictability of a child under five?

In this episode, I navigate the complicated landscape of ADHD in children under five. Through a blend of personal insight and professional expertise, I share the delicate process of distinguishing between normal childhood behaviours and the signs that may point to ADHD.

It's a path filled with caution, consideration, and the acknowledgement that each child's story is unique.
