Question
My child has been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). What treatment methods should be employed? Initially, parents noticed that their child lacks interest in any activity and cannot focus on one activity for a long time. Now, parents are worried that the condition is not being effectively treated. What are the treatment methods for pediatric ADHD?
Answer
The treatment methods for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) primarily include psychological therapy, behavioral therapy, and medication therapy. If a child’s condition is mild, psychological and behavioral therapies can be initially adopted to gradually correct the child’s behavioral issues. Treatment for pediatric ADHD is not solely reliant on medication therapy but is a comprehensive approach. The treatment plan should be formulated by a professional doctor based on the child’s specific situation to achieve the best treatment outcome.
