Patient's question:
From a young age, I was particularly prone to crying and being restless, especially in crowded situations where I would constantly run around and play.Doctor's answer:
Medication must be administered for children with ADHD, but medication cannot replace education. Medication can provide favorable conditions for education and should be correctly understood in terms of its effects and side effects. Third, to achieve good therapeutic effects, mutual cooperation among four parties (the child, parents, teachers, and physicians) is essential.Currently, most experts believe that Ritalin is highly effective in treating ADHD. It can improve concentration, reduce symptoms of hyperactivity, and ultimately achieve behavioral improvement. As the child's behavior improves, academic performance may also improve. With emotional stability, conflicts with peers may also decrease. Therefore, this medication indirectly promotes the psychological development of children.
However, the only drawback of Ritalin is that it cannot completely cure the disease; it can only be taken long-term. Ritalin is available in 10mg tablets, with one tablet taken each morning after a meal. If the effect is not significant after a period of use, the dosage may be increased as appropriate.
