Patient's question:
What are the medications for ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by normal or near-normal intelligence but difficulties with attention, short attention span, excessive activity, emotional impulsivity, and generally poor academic performance. Children with ADHD often struggle to socialize both at home and school. Possible causes include insufficient levels of neurotransmitters, organic brain damage, genetic factors, or psychological factors. Traditional Chinese medicine is generally effective, and it can be combined with rehabilitation treatments such as motor therapy, sensory integration training, and biofeedback in a rehabilitation department. It is important to avoid picky eating and reduce the intake of foods containing casein, dyes, salicylic acid, and other additives.
