Question
My daughter has ADHD, and she has already been diagnosed. How can we treat it? I’m very worried, what should we do?
Answer
Medication therapy can be used. Clinically, medication treatment is the key for most children with ADHD, and experts agree on this point. If the dosage is appropriate, this medication is effective for 80% of children, of course, it is not suitable for every child and family. There are two main types of medication: stimulants and non-stimulants. Some children may experience side effects when they start taking the drug, but these usually fade away after a few days. If the side effects persist, the medication needs to be adjusted promptly.
