Question
My son is a child with ADHD and is currently undergoing treatment. How effective is the treatment for ADHD?
Answer
The effectiveness of ADHD treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition and the chosen treatment methods. Some children may receive effective treatment in clinical settings. By adjusting diet, limiting intake of foods high in salicylates (such as tomatoes, apples, oranges, apricots, etc.), and avoiding certain food additives (like spicy chili oil, monosodium glutamate, and certain food dyes), symptoms can be alleviated. If these foods and additives are limited, nearly half of children with ADHD may experience symptom relief.
