Question
How should ADHD be treated?
Answer
The treatment of ADHD primarily includes behavioral therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy uses operant conditioning to reinforce the patient’s behavior promptly or positively, helping them learn appropriate social skills and replace inappropriate behaviors with new, effective ones. Cognitive-behavioral therapy mainly addresses the patient’s impulsivity issues, teaching them how to solve problems, judge the appropriateness of behavior, and choose suitable actions. The development of the brain and nervous system in ADHD children depends on healthy dietary habits.
