Patient's question:
What medications are effective for ADHD? My child is 8 years old and has been performing poorly in school. He also can't sit still, and after a check-up, it was diagnosed as ADHD. I don't even know how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
ADHD is a self-limiting disorder in children, which naturally disappears with age. Long-term follow-up observations by scholars have found: (1) Only children with ADHD can self-recover. Most symptoms of children can persist into adulthood. (2) Early treatment and late treatment may have significant differences in efficacy and prognosis. To control the condition, treatment should be initiated as soon as possible. Specific treatment should involve visiting a regular hospital for consultation and receiving treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
