Question
An 11-year-old boy is experiencing poor mental health with no known cause. How should ADHD be treated?
Answer
Early intervention is crucial for ADHD. Treatment options include psychological therapy, guiding parents on how to train their child’s attention, regulating behavior and attitude, and correcting bad habits. Older children may consider oral medications to suppress symptoms. Parents should guide their children gradually, avoiding corporal punishment and gender discrimination, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with moderate exercise to maintain physical and mental health and personal hygiene, preventing bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
