Question
The sister’s child 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 symptoms of ADHD are hyperactivity and inattention. There are many causes of ADHD. The treatment for childhood ADHD is not just medication, but also includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. This is a comprehensive treatment approach, not limited to any single method. The specific treatment method 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 using traditional Chinese medicine.
