Patient's question:
How is ADHD best treated? A friend of mine has a child who never pays attention in class and is always fidgeting. It's getting worse now, and the hospital said it's ADHD. How is ADHD best treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, a comprehensive intervention plan has been developed based on the characteristics of the patient and their family. Medication can provide short-term relief for certain symptoms, and the negative impact of this disease on the patient and their family is more dependent on non-pharmacological treatments. The treatment of childhood ADHD is not just about medication, but also includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. This is a comprehensive treatment approach, not just one specific method. Multiple methods can be used.
