Question
Doctor, hello. My child is still young but has pediatric ADHD. I’ve heard that traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating ADHD. I’d like to ask how ADHD is treated with traditional Chinese medicine?
Answer
ADHD can be alleviated but not cured. The main treatment methods for ADHD include medication, psychological and behavioral therapy, family therapy, and brain biofeedback therapy, with medication being the first choice. Studies show that medication is the primary strategy, and combining it with psychological and behavioral therapy, family therapy, or EEG biofeedback therapy is the best approach. The goal of treatment is to improve learning ability and adaptability to social situations.
