Patient's question:
Excessive activity and restlessness are normal phenomena, but this one in our family is not normal. First, he doesn't pay attention in class and doesn't have the mindset to study. Second, his personality is violent, and he often gets angry. I suspect that the child might have ADHD. How should this condition be treated in adolescents? How should ADHD be treated?Doctor's answer:
The cause of childhood ADHD has not been definitively determined by the medical community. Some believe it is necessary to examine mild brain damage before and after the patient's birth, as well as various genetic and metabolic abnormalities. The treatment of childhood ADHD is not simply medication-based; it includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. This is a comprehensive approach, not just one method. It is effective. Specific treatment should be sought in a formal hospital and conducted under the guidance of a doctor.
