"Doctor, my child doesn't sleep well. He stays busy all the time. One minute he's happy, the next he's crying. He still has some bed-wetting problems and complains about headaches and stomach pains.

When the other students are ready to take their nap, he's just buzzing all over the place and rather unruly."

The list of symptoms is all that's required.
