Patient's question:
The child is already eight years old, but still very active and restless. I feel quite anxious about it. Could you please ask the doctor what one should generally do if they discover they have ADHD?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the main treatment methods for ADHD include medication, psychological therapy, behavioral therapy, and dietary therapy, among others. Among these, central nervous system stimulants such as Ritalin are the most traditional, widely used, and most extensive treatment methods. In terms of efficacy, they are relatively effective in reducing attention. However, the drawback of Ritalin is that it cannot cure the disease and requires long-term use. Additionally, during the treatment period, the dietary condition and care of ADHD patients are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
