How should ADHD in children be treated?

Patient's question:

My son was previously diagnosed with ADHD and has been undergoing treatment, but it hasn't shown any improvement. His academic performance is also poor, his mood is unstable, and he is quite underweight. His relationships with classmates are also not going well. He has been on medication for almost two years. At first, it was okay, but recently it hasn't been working anymore. Now, it seems that the medication is not helping, and his condition seems worse than before.

Doctor's answer:

Inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Appropriate education and management at home and school. The child should be treated with patience, care, and love. Discipline should be applied for his or her behavior and. Encouragement and rewards should be given when he or she achieves progress in behavior therapy. Mental pressure or physical punishment should not be imposed. For those with habits and learning difficulties, more specific guidance should be provided, a regular lifestyle should be implemented, good habits should be developed, and confidence should be continuously strengthened.
