Question
A four-year-old girl recently exhibited emotional outbursts and temper tantrums, and has been diagnosed with childhood ADHD. The parents want to know if childhood ADHD can be effectively treated?
Answer
Childhood ADHD is a common behavioral disorder, and in some cases, symptoms may improve with age, although they can also persist into adulthood. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for treatment, where conservative methods such as acupuncture, bloodletting, and auricular acupuncture can be used, along with appropriate symptomatic medications. However, it is important to note the potential impact of medications on children’s development. It is worth noting that not all active children have ADHD; a diagnosis should be made by a professional doctor.
