Patient's question:
Recently I've found that the child is becoming more and more disobedient. When he sits there eating, he keeps twisting and turning, and when we talk to him, he simply doesn't listen. He is also forgetful when it comes to doing things. Later, we took him to the hospital for a check-up, and unexpectedly, he was diagnosed with ADHD. How can ADHD be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of childhood ADHD is not just about medication, but includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. It is a comprehensive approach, not just one method. Multiple methods can be used. Specific treatment should be sought in a regular hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily care should include ensuring children eat more fruits, vegetables, and other high-vitamin foods, which also contain a significant amount of protein and calcium. Childhood ADHD is pathological and should not be discriminated against; fighting should be avoided to prevent worsening the child's trauma. Medication is necessary for childhood ADHD, but it cannot replace education. Medication can provide good educational conditions, and it is important to understand its functions and side effects correctly.
