Question
A five-year-old child has been diagnosed with ADHD, and the parents are seeking the best treatment plan. In the absence of a specialized hospital, how should treatment be carried out?
Answer
Treating ADHD in children requires a comprehensive approach involving both medication and non-pharmacological interventions. Medication can provide short-term relief of symptoms, but the long-term impact of the disease depends more on non-pharmacological measures. Once a child shows signs of ADHD, parents should seek medical assistance promptly. The treatment plan should involve collaboration between families and schools, educate the child, and use medication appropriately - neither can be neglected. Parents should also provide love and support to their children, enhancing their confidence in the effectiveness of treatment.
