Patient's question:
My young 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 sessions, he can't sit still. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said he had ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). 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 required to support the treatment. Central stimulants can be used, but this medication can only be used for children aged 6 and above. Of course, this medication does have some side effects, which may cause insomnia, headaches, and irritability. Additionally, it is necessary to consult a psychologist and adopt psychological therapy methods, which are generally better.
