What should I do if I have ADHD?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I have ADHD? Recently, my child has been feeling particularly cold and restless. He never stops moving around, even when eating, and his legs are always shaking. I am very concerned, and when I went to the hospital, the doctor insisted that he had ADHD. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, regarding treatment medications, some central nervous system stimulants can be selected for treatment. Start with a small dose when beginning the medication, then gradually increase the dosage, and maintain the treatment at a certain level. Of course, it is best to choose medications under the guidance of a doctor. ADHD is a self-limiting disease in children. Currently, some of them can self-repair, but most need to actively cooperate with doctors. Our general advice is to start treatment early and avoid worsening the condition. Currently, the treatment of ADHD is primarily based on education and psychological therapy, supplemented by medication. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy food, and consume more zinc and iron-rich foods.
