Question
How should ADHD be treated? When a child exhibits symptoms of ADHD, parents often initially fail to take it seriously. After being reminded by relatives and friends, they bring the child to the hospital for diagnosis, where it is confirmed to be ADHD. Despite trying various treatment methods, the results have been unsatisfactory. How should ADHD be effectively treated?
Answer
ADHD primarily manifests as difficulty in concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. If a child is suspected of having ADHD, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a professional examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive active treatment under the doctor’s guidance. At home and school, appropriate education and management should be provided. Negative behaviors should be disciplined positively, and patience, care, and love should be shown in handling the child. Progress in behavioral therapy should be rewarded, while avoiding mental pressure or corporal punishment.
