Patient's question:
How to treat ADHD better? In the recent period, I have been constantly experiencing hyperactivity, and I feel that my condition is very abnormal. It seems that I have developed ADHD. How is the best way to treat ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Hello, behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy mainly have two approaches. The patient has poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, and poor self-control. Behavioral therapy adopts the principles of operant conditioning, timely or actively reinforcing the patient's behavior, enabling the patient to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the patient's impulsive issues, helping them learn how to solve problems, identify whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose appropriate behaviors. For children with ADHD, parents can establish a consistent schedule, create simple reward and punishment rules, not indulge in problematic behaviors, let them do homework in a quiet private space, and reduce distracting activities.
