Patient's question:
My baby is already 7 years old and has had ADHD for a year now. He is inattentive and his academic performance has declined. He also dislikes eating and taking medicine and doesn't follow instructions. Are there any other treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
ADHD has three treatment methods: psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, and medication. If your child's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is not severe, please undergo psychotherapy and behavioral therapy, and gradually correct your child's behavioral problems. The specific effects of medication in reducing ADHD symptoms are not yet certain. They can regulate the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, allowing children to concentrate better and reduce impulsivity. Of course, these medications have side effects to some extent, including loss of appetite, temporary increase in height, seizures, and sleep problems.
