Question

When a child exhibits hyperactivity, inattention, and poor academic performance, diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, past Western medicine treatments have been ineffective. Parents seek professional treatment from hospitals specializing in pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and wish to understand the treatment methods for the disorder.

Answer

For children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, timely medication treatment is necessary. Parents may consider seeking assistance from traditional Chinese medicine to adjust the treatment strategy. The treatment process for this condition is lengthy, requiring the detection of trace elements to confirm if there is a deficiency of calcium or lead, and treatment should be conducted simultaneously. In daily life, parents should pay attention to their child’s health, cultivate good living habits, and seek medical examination and treatment at regular hospitals when symptoms arise. Cultivating regular habits in children has shown that long-term adherence to these treatment measures can effectively reduce hyperactive behavior in children.
