Patient's question:
I noticed that the child's attention is not very focused. When he is doing homework, he keeps looking around and fidgeting. We asked him to focus on his homework, but he still kept shaking the table and moving the chair. Later, I took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed him with ADHD. What treatment for ADHD is most effective?Doctor's answer:
If a child has already been diagnosed with ADHD, it is best to start treatment as soon as possible. This condition has a significant impact on the child. Delaying the best treatment time is not conducive to the child's recovery. In addition to medication, ADHD also has the functions of psychological therapy and physical therapy. Parents should distinguish whether their child is mischievous or has ADHD. The child will exhibit the following behaviors: Most ADHD symptoms begin in early childhood and become prominent after starting primary school. During class, the child engages in constant fidgeting, tears up books, and draws poorly on paper. They are easily distracted by anything, which is very interesting, and often argue with classmates. Lack of concentration: ADHD children do not focus when learning. They spend less time in class and are more attentive to external stimuli. This is also a more typical symptom of ADHD.
