Patient's question:
My child has difficulty concentrating on anything and is very hyperactive. I took him to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said he has ADHD. What should be done to treat ADHD in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the main treatment methods for ADHD include medication, psychological therapy, behavioral therapy, and dietary therapy. Among these, central nervous system stimulants are the most traditional, widely used, and comprehensive treatment approaches. They are relatively effective in treatment, significantly reducing the disruptions caused by attention and hyperactivity in patients with ADHD. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also focusing on self-care training, consuming more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding triggering foods. It is hoped that ADHD patients can receive professional treatment.
