Patient's question:
My nephew is eight years old this year, but he is always restless. Except for nap time, he is bouncing around every moment, as if he never gets tired. Even during tutoring, he cannot sit still. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said it was attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). How can ADHD in children be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of childhood ADHD are triggered by psychological factors, so psychological therapy is necessary. Of course, medication is also needed to support the treatment. Central stimulants can be used, but this medication should only be used for children aged 6 and above. Of course, this medication does have some side effects, which may include insomnia, headaches, and irritability. Additionally, it is necessary to consult a psychologist and opt for psychological treatment methods, which are often more effective.
