Question
The child of my older sister has recently become very irritable, often throwing tantrums, and no longer enjoys watching cartoons. After taking the child for a check-up, it was said that they have been diagnosed with childhood ADHD.
Answer
The two main manifestations of ADHD are hyperactivity and inattention. There are many causes of ADHD. The treatment for childhood ADHD is not just medication but includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. This is a comprehensive approach, not limited to just one method. Various methods can be used. The specific treatment methods should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor at a hospital. Currently, the best treatment method for children with ADHD is a multidimensional treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.
