Question
Last week, at a parent-teacher meeting, the teacher mentioned that my child might have ADHD. They are usually restless, talkative, and have poor self-control. Their attention is always scattered. What are the most effective treatments for ADHD?
Answer
It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital, which may include psychological therapy or oral chelation therapy. The primary cause of ADHD may be high lead levels in the child’s body. Supplementing with zinc and selenium can help combat lead poisoning. Regularly consuming foods rich in zinc and selenium, such as fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame seeds, dairy products, mushrooms, eggs, and garlic, can help effectively supplement zinc, eliminate lead, and thereby treat childhood ADHD. In addition to timely treatment, patients should also maintain a good mood and a positive attitude in their daily lives, as a positive mindset is very helpful for recovery from the disease. I hope this answer is helpful to you. Thank you.
