Patient's question:
How should ADHD be treated?My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD. Now, the child cannot sit quietly in kindergarten to listen to lessons and does not pay attention to the teacher's words. I would like to ask, how should ADHD be treated?
How should ADHD patients be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, ADHD mainly includes behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patients have poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, and poor self-control. Behavioral therapy adopts the principles of operant conditioning, timely or positively reinforcing patients' behaviors, helping them learn appropriate social skills, and replacing inappropriate behavior patterns with new, effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses patients' impulsive issues, teaching them how to solve problems, identify whether their behavior is appropriate, and choose appropriate behaviors. The development of the brains and nervous systems of children with ADHD depends on healthy dietary habits. To ensure the neurodevelopment of children with ADHD, it can play a certain role in alleviating and preventing ADHD.
