Question
Hello! I would like to ask the doctor, my child is 16 years old and showing symptoms of ADHD. How should a 16-year-old ADHD patient be treated effectively!
Answer
Hello, the general symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and restlessness. Based on the patient’s needs, we can provide reasonable guidance. However, please note that when answering questions, avoid perfunctory (indifferent responses), answering irrelevant questions, or giving meaningless replies. If you suspect that you or someone else has ADHD, it is recommended to first undergo blood lead tests or other checks for trace elements. At the same time, ADHD often improves naturally as children grow older.
