Question
A child frequently struggles to pay attention in class and exhibits frequent movement, diagnosed with ADHD by the hospital. How should ADHD be effectively treated?
Answer
The treatment of ADHD should be a holistic intervention plan considering the characteristics of the patient and their family. While medication can alleviate some symptoms in the short term, the adverse effects on patients and their families largely depend on non-pharmacological treatments. The treatment of ADHD is not solely medication-based but also includes psychological therapy, family therapy, behavioral therapy, dietary therapy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine. This is a comprehensive treatment approach rather than a single method. Therefore, various methods can be adopted for treatment.
