Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My child is still young, but he has ADHD. I've heard that Chinese medicine is effective in treating ADHD. I'd like to ask how Chinese medicine treats ADHD?Doctor's answer:
ADHD can be managed but not cured. The etiology, manifestations, and diagnosis of ADHD are so complex that comprehensive treatment is certainly required. It is necessary to reasonably select the best treatment method. Currently, the main treatment methods for ADHD include medication, psycho-behavioral therapy, family therapy, and brain biofeedback therapy, among which medication is the first choice. Research shows that medication is the primary strategy, and combining it with psycho-behavioral therapy, family therapy, or EEG biofeedback therapy is the best strategy. It cannot be cured; the goal of treatment is to improve learning ability and social adaptability.
