Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral disorder among children. For over a century, numerous disciplines have conducted comprehensive research on it, but its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and other aspects remain inconsistent in understanding. ADHD is considered a self-limiting childhood disorder, and some mild cases can resolve on their own. However, most still require active cooperation with medical treatment. We generally recommend early detection and early treatment to prevent worsening. Currently, the primary treatments for ADHD focus on education and psychological therapy, with medication used as a supplement. It is advised to consume more fruits and vegetables, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and eat more zinc and iron-rich foods.
