Patient's question:
Where should I make an appointment for ADHD? Hello. Recently, I've noticed that my child is often restless with their hands and feet. Later, the kindergarten teacher called me to tell me that my child has ADHD, which also affects other children. After checking at the hospital, I found out it was ADHD. I want to consult about how to treat my child's ADHD effectively. Where should I make an appointment for ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Treatment-wise. Comprehensive intervention plans should be developed based on the characteristics of the patients and their families. Medication can provide short-term relief for some symptoms. For the series of adverse effects the disease imposes on patients and their families, non-pharmacological treatments are more relied upon.Hello. When dealing with children with ADHD, in addition to implementing medication and specialized brain psychological training, parents and teachers should also do the following:
(1) Set appropriate expectations. Initially, the expectations for the child should not be the same as those for typical children. Instead, focus on keeping their actions within a certain range, gradually increasing expectations later.
(2) Establish a routine. Parents and teachers should supervise the child in adhering to their schedule.
(3) Understand the nature of the disease. Overcome harsh, indifferent, or discriminatory attitudes toward the child. Strive for collaboration, and educate the child patiently and systematically.
