Patient's question:
I have a friend whose daughter has an adorable child who came to play at my house for a few days this week. Gradually, I noticed some differences between him and other babies. He is often restless and can't stay quiet. My friend said that this behavior might be a sign of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). What factors contribute to this ADHD condition?Doctor's answer:
The causes of ADHD are varied and diverse. The treatment of pediatric ADHD is not solely based on medication but involves comprehensive therapy, including psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment, among others. ADHD patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily dietary habits and never overeat or binge on food.
