Patient's question:
Since the child started school, their grades have always been at the bottom every time they take a test. Later, they suddenly suspected that the child might have ADHD and took them to a children's hospital for a check-up. It turned out that it was indeed the case. Now, I am particularly worried about the child's future. Can a child with ADHD be cured?Doctor's answer:
ADHD can be managed but not cured. The etiology, manifestations, and diagnosis of ADHD are so complex that comprehensive treatment is necessary. It is essential to reasonably select the best treatment method. Currently, the main treatment methods for ADHD include medication, psychological behavioral therapy, family therapy, and brain biofeedback therapy, among which medication is the first choice. Research shows that medication is the primary strategy, and combining it with psychological behavioral therapy, family therapy, or EEG biofeedback therapy is the optimal strategy. It cannot be cured, and the goal of treatment is to improve learning ability and social adaptability.
