Question
A neighbor’s child often shows hyperactive behavior, even sometimes attacking others, and does not follow instructions, suffering from ADHD. How is ADHD caused?
Answer
Children with ADHD typically exhibit three core symptoms: attention deficit, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, with impulsivity and hyperactivity sometimes grouped together as one symptom. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as Jingling Oral Liquid, Xiao’er Zhihui Syrup, and Yining. At the same time, educational behavioral correction methods can be used to improve the condition. Encourage children to engage in quiet activities every day, whether it’s studying or something else, and cultivate the habit of concentration, which is beneficial for controlling the condition. Dietarily, consuming high-protein foods such as lean meat and beef, as well as fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, is recommended, while avoiding smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods. Appropriately increasing physical activity also helps improve the condition.
