Question
How should I deal with ADHD? Lately, my child has been very active at home, constantly moving around, restless, and not eating properly, with legs that keep shaking. After the doctor diagnosed it as ADHD, what should I do?
Answer
Treatment for ADHD can involve central nervous system stimulants, starting with a low dose and gradually increasing while under a doctor’s guidance to find the appropriate medication. ADHD is a self-limiting childhood condition, and it is recommended to seek treatment early to prevent worsening. Education, psychological therapy, and medication are currently the main treatment methods for ADHD. It’s advised to eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce spicy foods, and increase intake of zinc and iron-rich foods.
