Patient's question:
How to treat ADHD better? In the recent period, I have been experiencing a lot of hyperactivity, and I feel that it is 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 better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy mainly have two approaches. The patient has poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, and poor self-control. Behavioral therapy adopts the principles of operant conditioning, timely or actively reinforcing the patient's behavior, enabling the patient to learn appropriate social skills, and replacing inappropriate behavior patterns with new effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the patient's impulsive issues, helping the patient learn how to solve problems, identify whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose appropriate behaviors. For children with ADHD, parents can establish a consistent schedule, create simple reward and punishment rules, avoid indulging problematic behaviors, let them do homework in a quiet private space, and reduce distracting activities.
