Patient's question:
How to treat ADHD effectivelyIn the recent period, I have been experiencing a lot of hyperactivity, and I feel that I am very abnormal. I also feel that I lack patience when doing things. After checking at the hospital, it was found that I have ADHD. How to treat ADHD effectively
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are mainly two approaches in behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patient has poor peer relationships, exhibits aggressive language and behavior towards others, and demonstrates poor self-control. Behavioral therapy employs the principles of operant conditioning, providing timely or positive reinforcement to enhance the patient's behavior, enabling them to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new, effective ones. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the patient's impulsive issues, teaching them how to solve problems, identify whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose suitable behaviors. For children with ADHD, parents can establish a consistent schedule, implement simple reward and punishment rules, avoid indulging problematic behaviors, allow them to complete homework in a quiet private space, and reduce distractions.
