How should a child with ADHD be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ADHD mainly includes behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patients have poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, as well as poor self-control. Behavioral therapy adopts the principles of operant conditioning, timely or positively reinforcing the patient's behavior, enabling them to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the impulsive issues of patients, helping them learn how to solve problems, identify whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose appropriate behaviors. The development of the brains and nervous systems of ADHD children depends on healthy dietary habits.
