Patient's question:
My son is usually quite mischievous, but when the teacher mentioned that he can't sit still, I later thought that he might have ADHD, so I'm a bit worried. I'm afraid he won't be able to focus on school in the future. I'd like to ask how it can be treated.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which can be treated with medication. Medication treatment includes central stimulants, antidepressants, etc. Excess yang and deficiency of yin in the developmental period can lead to irritability and restlessness, which may cause ADHD in children. Therefore, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys to strengthen the brain is the key to treating ADHD in children. There are also many traditional Chinese medicine treatments for ADHD, but they lack scientific methods to verify their efficacy.
