Question
A child exhibits symptoms of ADHD, characterized by persistent hyperactivity, and school teachers have also reported their excessive activity, seemingly abnormal. After hospital examination, the parents seek clinical treatment methods for ADHD. What are the treatment options for ADHD?
Answer
The treatment of ADHD primarily relies on medication therapy and psychological therapy. Medication therapy typically uses neurosteroids to reduce the brain’s excitability, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks of neural damage, and therefore, appropriate medication must be chosen under a doctor’s guidance. In terms of psychological therapy, options include seeking professional psychological doctors or parents can conduct psychological counseling themselves. Additionally, to enhance the focus of children with ADHD, it is encouraged to engage them in activities they are interested in, such as painting, and set a daily sustained time, starting with short periods and gradually extending them, but should avoid rushing into it and increase them progressively.
