Patient's question:
The child has been receiving treatment for ADHD, but there has been no improvement. Their mood is unstable, and they are underweight. They also struggle with maintaining friendships.Doctor's answer:
Hello: ADHD is the most common psychological and behavioral disorder in childhood. Children with ADHD have poor self-control, distracted attention, and are often impulsive and stubborn, which often makes others feel frustrated. The main treatment approach is comprehensive therapy, primarily focused on psychological and behavioral therapy, including psychological counseling, psychotherapy, behavioral modification and training, as well as attention training. When psychological and behavioral therapy is not effective or the condition is severe, medication should be used. The main medications include stimulants, with the most commonly used being stimulants. Stimulants work quickly, have good effects, and have fewer side effects.
