Question
My child is 10 years old and their limbs are constantly moving. They say they have ADHD. How should ADHD be treated?
Answer
The treatment for childhood ADHD should be proactive, combining medication treatment with psychological therapy. Medication treatment primarily involves drugs that improve and regulate neurotransmitters, such as long-acting and short-acting formulations of methylphenidate. Psychological therapy mainly helps children regain self-confidence, with common methods including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dynamic psychotherapy, family therapy, sand tray game therapy, and more.
