How is ADHD treated?

Patient's question:

My child has ADHD. How is that possible? What are the symptoms of ADHD? I think my child is quite normal! What are the symptoms of ADHD? How should pediatric ADHD be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy mainly have two approaches. Behavioral therapy adopts the principles of operant conditioning, which involves either immediate or active reinforcement of the patient's behavior, enabling them to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new, effective behaviors. This type of treatment requires the cooperation and intervention of parents, teachers, and doctors. Children with ADHD visit local medical institutions, where experienced experts conduct comprehensive physical examinations and professional neuropsychological assessments of the infants to rule out organic causes of ADHD and ensure an accurate diagnosis.
