Question
My child has been feeling very active lately; maybe it’s because I didn’t pay enough attention before. Recently, when we went to the hospital, the doctor said the child has ADHD. How should we treat it in the early stages?
Answer
Most treatment methods for ADHD involve central nervous system medications that have a certain effect on ADHD. Some medications have side effects. Parents should use them with caution. Nowadays, there are family therapy, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of ADHD. It is recommended to make pharmacotherapy the first choice as it has a more significant effect. At the same time, supportive training and psychological guidance are carried out for long-term treatment. Daily, parents of ADHD children also need to pay more attention to their child’s emotions and take them out for walks more often, which can also be beneficial for the child’s condition.
