Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms like inability to sit still or rocking back in forth etc occur in ADHD but to make diagnosis of ADHD proper evaluation is needed. I would advise you to take him to a psychiatrist for evaluation and to confirm the diagnosis. In ADD symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity all are seen. Medicines can control the ADHD symptoms effectively. Medicines like Amphetamines as Adderall or Ritalin etc are used commonly in ADHD. These medicines help to improve focus and improve activities. Visit a psychiatrist for proper help.

Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care
