ADHD 1 year old? Or something else?

Hi Mamas

Is it possible that my one year old could have ADHD? He is very very hyper active. Can’t focus on playing with toys for long. Constantly up and down. Obsessed with doors being open, he has to close them as soon as he sees its open. He barely sleeps, pushes himself to his limits (like stays up until 1am -3am and when he finally falls asleep it’s not like a deep sleep, he keeps on tossing and turning. The signs shows and he is blue and baggy under his eyes from lack of sleep. We are at our wits end, don’t know what else to do. Need help please.

Edit: I’ll be making an appointment with the pediatrician. We do follow a routine but no success with that. Yes I know he is only a toddler but to what point does that phrase count when he ends up hurting himself (he hits and scratches himself just to stay awake and at times he’ll even bang his head against things as well) and yes I do my best to avoid that he does this to himself but sometimes accidents do happen. Dont know if he’ll outgrow this “stage” Im just concerned that there could be other issues arising from lack of sleep.
