Question
I discovered my child has ADHD last year, but despite trying many methods, the situation has not improved. I am really worried that if this continues, my child’s future will be ruined. How should we effectively treat ADHD?
Answer
The genetic factors causing childhood ADHD are not to be overlooked. Approximately 40% of children with ADHD have parents whose siblings and other relatives also suffered from the condition in their childhood. The incidence of ADHD symptoms in monozygotic twins is significantly higher than in dizygotic twins, and the risk of ADHD in siblings is higher than in half-siblings (half-brothers and half-sisters), but lower than in general children. Therefore, experts suggest that marriage should be timed appropriately, pregnant women should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, smoking, drinking beer, and consuming spicy foods as much as possible, and strive for natural supply. If your child shows symptoms such as inattention or a sense of guilt again, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination immediately.
