Can children with ADHD be cured?

Patient's question:

Lack of concentration, guilt, poor sleep, inability to complete tasks, poor appetite, drooling while sleeping, poor academic performance, tendency to lie, etc. Diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 8. Diagnosed as ADHD consistently across several hospitals. The doctor said it would improve with age, but I feel it is getting worse! Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment was provided by doctors. Recently searched online and found that Jingling Granules are effective and have no side effects. Unsure if it's true. Hoping for a cure. Desired assistance: Using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or Chinese patent medicine for the child, hoping for self-healing.

Doctor's answer:

Most experts believe that Ritalin is very effective in treating children with ADHD, helping to focus attention and reduce symptoms of excessive movement, thereby achieving the goal of stable behavior. As the behavior of the children stabilizes, their academic performance may also improve, and with emotional stability, conflicts with classmates may also increase. Therefore, this medication indirectly promotes the psychological development of children. However, the only drawback of Ritalin is that it cannot cure the disease, requiring long-term use.
