Patient's question:
The child feels a sense of guilt and is quite willful, often getting angry. People think the child is spoiled, but after a thorough medical check-up at the hospital, it turns out to be ADHD. How can ADHD be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
A major manifestation of childhood ADHD is guilt, stubbornness, irritability, temper tantrums, and being difficult to manage, and your child's symptoms are quite similar. Personally, I strongly advise against relying solely on Western medicine for treating ADHD, as it can be very disruptive to children and has significant side effects. Currently, integrated Chinese and Western medicine is the main approach, and you can also consider physical therapy, acupuncture, and other treatments based on your specific situation.Children with ADHD can complement their medical treatment with dietary therapy in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and never indulge in binge eating in their daily diet.
