Patient's question:
The boy is 11 years old this year, and his mental state has not been very good recently. He doesn't know what's going on either. Please ask: How is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Once a child discovers that they have ADHD, it is essential to implement intervention as early as possible. Psychological therapy should be provided to the child, and parents must train their attention in daily life, correct their attitude towards practice and life, and rectify unhealthy habits. Older children can take oral medication to suppress symptoms. Parents should also guide their children step by step in daily teaching, preventing corporal punishment, gender discrimination, and other forms of teaching.Finally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and keep themselves clean to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
