ADHD is characterized by behaviors related to inattention,hyperactivity/impulsivity,or both.The child's inability to sit in a chair for meals,nonstop talking,and refusal to complete homework are all signs of possible ADHD.Compulsive "collecting" could relate to an anxiety disorder such as hoarding.Excessive sleeping could indicate depression.
