Question
An eight-year-old boy exhibits symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity at school and home, leading his parents to suspect he may have ADHD. What are the treatment methods for ADHD?
Answer
The two main characteristics of ADHD are hyperactivity and inattention. Treating ADHD is not solely reliant on medication but involves a comprehensive treatment plan that includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and Western medicine treatment. Treatment methods should be tailored to individual cases under the guidance of a doctor. Currently, multidimensional traditional Chinese medicine treatment is considered one of the best methods for treating ADHD children. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for an assessment by a professional doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan.
