Hello, ADHD mainly includes behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patients have poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, as well as poor self-control. Behavioral therapy employs the principles of operant conditioning, promptly or positively reinforcing the patients' behaviors, enabling them to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new, effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the impulsive issues of patients, helping them learn how to solve problems, identify whether their behaviors are appropriate, and choose appropriate behaviors. The development of the brains and nervous systems of children with ADHD depends on healthy dietary habits. To ensure the neurodevelopment of children with ADHD, it can play a certain role in alleviating and preventing ADHD.
