Patient's question:
Children with ADHD should see what department for diagnosis and treatment? Children are always inattentive when doing things. These symptoms have lasted for half a month. Even their favorite cartoons cannot keep them still; they keep running around. They went to the hospital for some tests, and the result was that they had ADHD. Children with ADHD should see what department for diagnosis and treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with ADHD are treated with medication. Some central nervous system stimulants can be used to treat them. The medication starts with a low dose, then gradually increases the dose, and waits until a maintenance dose is reached. Of course, it is best to choose the medication under the guidance of a doctor. Psychological therapy mainly includes behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patient has poor peer relationships, aggressive language and behavior towards others, and poor self-control. Behavioral therapy uses the principles of operant conditioning to reinforce the patient's behavior in a timely or positive manner, allowing the patient to learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behavior patterns with new effective behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily addresses the patient's impulsive behavior, teaching the patient how to solve problems, identifying whether their behavior is appropriate, and choosing appropriate behavior.
