Patient's question:
My daughter has difficulty concentrating in class and has a superficial understanding of the teaching content. Shes homework, easily gets distracted while studying, and how is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of childhood ADHD is not just about medication, but includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. This is a comprehensive treatment approach. Specific treatment should be sought at a regular hospital and conducted under the guidance of a doctor. ADHD only has three core symptom groups: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Appropriate education and management are usually required. Be patient, caring, and loving towards your child. For bad habits, active disciplinary education should be implemented, with more encouragement and rewards for achievements. Mental pressure should not be applied, nor should there be guilt or physical punishment. For those with bad habits and learning difficulties, more specific guidance should be provided, a regular lifestyle should be established, good habits should be developed, and continuous improvement should be made.
